Bar Preparation Courses
As an additional aid to you in your bar examination preparation, Suffolk Law
School offers to third year day and fourth year evening students, a bar
examination preparation program offered in the spring and fall. This course is
not a substitute for a commercial bar review course. Indeed, we fully expect
that virtually all of you will take a bar review course prior to the bar
examination. Suffolk University Law School does not endorse any bar review
course and you should not consider our participation in this program as an
endorsement of any specific bar review course. Our bar examination
preparation program is designed to provide extra assistance to our students.
Who Should Take the Fall 2012 Program?
The following students should
consider enrolling in the fall 2012 program:
1.
Students who intend to sit for the February 2013 bar examination, whether
in Massachusetts or in another state. For those students who intend to take the
Massachusetts bar, Suffolk will make available tapes of lectures (and
accompanying materials) recorded in May 2012 on both Massachusetts Civil
Procedure and essay writing on the Massachusetts bar exam.
2.
Students who intend to sit for the July 2013 bar examination in a state
other than Massachusetts (in order to obtain a full semester’s worth of
preparation for the MBE portion of the examination in the other state).
3.
Students who intend to sit for the July 2013 bar examination
in any
state
and who presently have a low cumulative grade point average should
enroll in the fall 2012 course to have additional opportunities to learn the
subject matter tested on the MBE and the skills needed to answer multiple
choice questions. If these students intend to take the July
2013
Massachusetts bar examination, they should
also
enroll in either of the
courses to be offered during the spring 2013 in order to prepare for the
Massachusetts essay examination.
