2024 Summer Bar Support
Class of 2024,
To aid in your preparation for the July 2024 bar exam, we have resources available for you throughout the summer.
Free Bar Snacks
The law school will provide students preparing for the bar exam on campus with readily available snacks! An assortment of snacks is available daily from Wednesday, May 15 through the end of the summer. You can find them on the third floor in the faculty suite. (Please feel free to send any snack recommendations to me.)
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.
The first workshop is next week, Wednesday, May 22 (3:00 pm – 4:15 pm). Live in Room 127 and via Zoom.
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.
Every Wednesday from May 22 – June 19 from 3:00 pm – 4:15 pm. All sessions will be recorded. The session scheduled for June 19 will be rescheduled in observance of Juneteenth.
Please see email for the Zoom link!

Faculty Bar Mentoring
Every graduate of the Class of 2024 will receive a Faculty Bar Mentor. You should expect to hear from your bar mentor by the end of next week. Your mentor will send out encouragement and tips as you prepare.
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.
PMBR Access
Please note that you will have continued access to PMBR throughout the entire bar preparation period. If you have lost your online access, please let me know.
