'Minority Bar Passage Program' offered by Straker Bar in January

The D. Augustus Straker Bar Association will present "The 2021 January Minority Bar Passage Program" online via Zoom from January 6 to February 3.

The 2021 Minority Bar Passage Program (MBPP) is designed to improve bar passage rates of needy law school graduates sitting for the Michigan Bar Exam. Statistics reveal that many law school graduates underestimate the importance of the essay portion on the bar exam. Therefore, while traditional bar review courses focus only on the multi-state part of the exam, the MBPP uniquely focuses on essay writing techniques to maximize your overall bar exam results. The MBPP also offers an informative live lecture from an actual member of the Michigan Board of Bar Examiners.

Through weekly examinations, a mock bar examination, group, and one-on-one sessions, as well as lectures by local attorneys, MBPP assists in the areas of Essay Writing, Skills/Strategy, Test Taking Skills/Strategy, Time Management, and Stress Management. The MBPP does not review substantive law. Accordingly, MBPP should be taken in conjunction with a traditional bar review course to give you the ultimate edge in studying for "both the multi-state and essay sections" of the exam.

The cost is $75 (non-refundable) for all law school graduates. To register, visit https://strakerlaw.org.
