2023 Summer Bar Preparation
Congratulations Class of 2023!
Below are a list of resources that are available to you as you prepare for the bar examination.
Bar Support Series: Weigh-In Wednesday
WEIGH-IN WEDNESDAY is a time for you to gather information during your study period that will enhance your preparation for the bar exam from week to week. It’s also an opportunity for you to gather with your peers during a time that can feel isolating. These sessions will be come-and-go events where the bar preparation director, professors, and others may be in attendance.
Each week an email will be sent (and blog post) providing an overview of what the session that week will feature and any guest lecturers.
Save the date for Wednesday, May 24 (3:00 pm – 4:15 pm). This first workshop will focus on general bar exam preparation techniques, stress management techniques, and how to capitalize on the MPT section of the bar exam.
Sessions will be both via Zoom and in-person (Room 127), unless otherwise noted.
Every Wednesday from May 24 – June 21 for 75 minutes will be a Weigh-In Wednesday. All sessions will be recorded.
Zoom information will be distributed by email.
Individual Bar Exam Consultations
Individual consultations are an opportunity for Memphis Law bar takers to discuss study schedules, receive written feedback, discuss individualized preparation strategies, and ask substantive questions.
Email Professor DeShun Harris at d.harris@memphis.edu or use the link to schedule an appointment or request more information. Office drop-ins are also available.
Hours are flexible so please email Professor Harris for special times, including early morning or night.
Faculty Bar Mentoring
Every graduate of the Class of 2023 will receive a Faculty Bar Mentor. You should expect to hear from your bar mentor in the coming week. Your mentor will send out encouragement and tips as you prepare; they are available for non-substantive support.
MBE Simulations
The law school will provide a space for you to take your bar preparation company’s simulations. We will provide space and lunch on four different dates (most of which align with each of the big three company’s dates). Details TBA.
Free Bar Snacks
The law school will provide students preparing for the bar exam on campus with readily available snacks! An assortment of snacks will be available beginning Wednesday, May 17.
