REGISTRAR: BAR PREPARATION
 
Bar Exam Preparation
 
As an additional aid to you in your bar examination preparation, Suffolk Law School offers to third year day and fourth year evening students, a bar examination preparation program offered in the spring and fall. This course is not a substitute for a commercial bar review course. Indeed, we fully expect that virtually all of you will take a bar review course prior to the bar examination. Suffolk University Law School does not endorse any bar review course and you should not consider our participation in this program as an endorsement of any specific bar review course. Our bar examination preparation program is designed to provide extra assistance to our students.

 

 

Cost
 

The fall and spring programs are offered to you without charge.

 

Fall Bar Preparation Course
 

The fall program will be taught by attorney Walter McLaughlin. Mr. Laughlin has been a member of our adjunct faculty and for many years he operated the SMH bar review course. The fall course will focus exclusively on the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), a 200-question multiple choice examination that is required in every state except Louisiana and Washington. The subjects covered on the MBE are Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law and Procedure, Evidence, Real Property, and Torts.

  1. Students who intend to sit for the February bar examination, whether in Massachusetts or in another state, If you intend to take the Massachusetts examination, Mr. McLaughlin will also make available to you lectures that he has previously recorded on the Massachusetts essay topics.
  2. Students who intend to sit for the July bar examination in a state other than Massachusetts (in order to obtain a full semester's worth of preparation for the MBE portion of the examination in the other state).

Students who do not fit in any of the above categories should take either of the two courses that the law school offers during the spring semester.

Dates/Times to be announced.

 

Spring Bar Preparation Course
 

During the spring, students are offered a choice of taking either a program to be run by Mr. McLaughlin or by attorney Alfred M. Zappala from Multistate Tutorial Services, Inc. Both Mr. McLaughlin and Mr. Zappala have run similar programs very successfully at Suffolk Law School in past years.

The spring courses will review both the MBE as well as topics that are tested on the Massachusetts essay examination.

Dates/Times to be announced.
