Happy Halloween! And congratulations to our @unc_law Class of 2024 New York bar exam takers! Our first-time test takers had a 100% passage rate on the July 2024 New York bar exam!
Second Edition is now out! The book offers annotated exchanges to show what an attorney might do (or not want to do) while interviewing a client. Part 5 is new & focuses on ways that the #NextGen bar exam may assess interviewing & client counseling skills. @WestAcademic
Congratulations @unc_law Class of 2024 for receiving a 93% passing rate for first-time test takers on the July 2024 North Carolina bar exam!!
If you were unsuccessful...your bar exam results don't define you. Reach out when you're ready. We will get it done the next time! ❤️
What a celebration honoring the amazing civil rights attorney and former @NAACP_LDF President and Director-Counsel, Ted Shaw! Ted is a wonderful @unc_law colleague, where he continues to inspire and mentor future civil rights attorneys. youtu.be/QHTVB-rJFQA
It's LEAP Day! LEAP's @unc_law's voluntary pre-orientation program that helps 1Ls transition to the academic rigors of law school in a welcoming environment. Missing @RachelGurvich, who always does a great job helping w/ LEAP. Thankful for other faculty/staff who are helping out.
For those of you taking the July 2024 #barexam, here are some thoughts on what you may consider doing this last week: linkedin.com/posts/o-j-salin…
For those of you not taking the Uniform #barexam: Remember to check your state board of law examiner’s websites. Many of the state boards have free old questions/sample answers, including Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Delaware, and California.
It can be helpful to see what your state board thinks is a good essay answer, especially since they will be the ones grading your essays.
Remember that you're not required to get an “A” on the #barexam—you just need a pass. Don’t stress if you're not getting “A” results on your practice questions. You don’t need an “A” on the bar exam to get your law license.
Also, remember that your MBE prep also helps your essay prep! Generally, at least 2 (often 3) of the 6 essays on the #MEE test MBE law. So, all your studying and practice with the MBE questions will transfer to help you on the essays that test MBE law.
Six weeks out from the #barexam. Some tips/encouragement for the @unc_law Class of 2024 and others trucking through #barprep:
Six weeks until the #barexam may seem daunting. You may feel like you have so much law still to learn & so much more practice to perform. This is a natural feeling—one that, unfortunately, likely won’t subside.
You won't feel 100% about the substantive law, & that's okay!

You have time to get more comfortable with the law and the common fact patterns for the heavily tested topics. You have more time to increase the speed to which you answer multiple-choice and essay questions. You have time to consider and support your self-care and well-being.
