LAW-2488 Advanced Survey: Contracts, Evidence, Torts
This course is designed to provide a review of substantive law in three areas that are heavily tested on the bar exam (Contracts, Evidence, and Torts) and to develop the skills necessary to apply the substantive law to answer bar exam multiple choice and essay questions. This course will also introduce students to the Multistate Performance Test. The course is intended to assist students in: (1) Tackling multiple choice questions tested on the bar exam; (2) Critically reading and writing essays and the performance test on the bar exam; and (3) Reviewing the substantive law that many students have not studied since their first year of law school. To achieve the objective of not only passing this class but also passing the bar exam (your ultimate goal to practicing as a lawyer), you must commit yourself to completing the course assignments in a timely and satisfactory manner and participating in class. To measure your success, and your ability to pass the bar exam, you will have assignments each week consisting of pre-class Modules and/or reading, learning checks, multiple choice questions, essays, and performance tests. You will also have a midterm and final exam each comprised on multiple choice and bar essay questions. This course may only be taken by students in their last year. Enrollment in either Fall or Spring Section of this course is required for seniors with first year GPA 2.67-2.99; strongly recommended for seniors with first year GPA 3.0-3.29.
