So bar success really begins with academic success, and here at LMU, we have an approach that starts before you start law school, so the summer before goes through orientations your first year of law school, and then we start working on bar exam skills in your second, third years of law school, and we stay with you after you graduate, when you're taking a bar exam.
I attended LMU undergrad, and I came back to LMU law school to be able to come back here and to help, particularly first generation law students, was very close to my heart, something I'm very passionate about, and the academic success area really allows me to connect with one else who don't have a professional background or don't have a lot of family support in that area, the same skills that you need to be a good law student are really skills that you need to succeed on the bar exam.
We have a lot of faculty with expertise in teaching you how to be a good law student, and then in showing you and giving you opportunities for practice to transfer those skills into success on the bar exam, some of those skills include things like critical reading exam writing skills, formal legal writing skills, we really walk you through that step by Step, and walk you through how to approach law school exams and the bar exam to make sure that you're successful on both.
