Group Workshops
LawMasters workshops are designed to precede and/or
supplement ordinary bar review courses. LawMasters equips foreign lawyers and law students
with the tools they need to digest the substantive law and to best use their preparation
time in order to pass the bar.
The Group Workshop is an 8 hour workshop available on
Saturdays in various locations (subject to demand): Ann Arbor, Boston, Chicago, Los
Angeles, New York, San Diego, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
Material covered:
- Holistic study scheduling and organization
- Law subject linkage
- Essay Writing
- Performance test (if applicable)
- MBE workshop
- Substantive law
When substantive law is covered, references are made to
differences between the American common law system and civil law systems. Also, LawMasters
specifically addresses issues like essay writing for those whose first language is not
English.
Holistic study scheduling and organization
assists students in organizing an effective and balanced study regime. American bar exams
are as much a physical and emotional marathon as they are a mental test. We will also
discuss stress reduction methods such as prayer and meditation. Law subject
linkage deals with understanding the various components of the law as a whole.
This is especially helpful for students with a civil law background.
"Cross-over" topics are well known and feared on American written exams.
Essay writing focuses on the particular
style and pattern that law examiners look for. MBE practice emphasizes
how the MBE can best be studied for and how students can best pace themselves on the exam.
This includes a look at American colloquialisms—common on the MBE.
The performance test review is for those
jurisdictions which require a practical skills component.
LawMasters also offers a one day intensive Victory Workshop
just before the bar exam. This workshop reviews essay, MBE and performance test (where
applicable) techniques, and other effective test-taking procedures.
