Bar Prep Series 2008

This new course series was designed to help law students improve their performance on the Arizona Bar Exam has been organized by Professor Michael Berch of the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law.  Passage of the grueling Bar Exam is required before law-school graduates are allowed to practice law and is usually taken late in the summer after graduation.
    "This course was put together in response to requests by the third-year law students," Berch said. "They have wanted something like this for a long time. We will look at the past five years of bar exams and, when we find a pattern of questions, we'll be highlighting those patterns."

 

Streaming video versions of each class are available below on this page.
