Bar Exam Accelerated Training (BEAT)

The BEAT program is a free series of classes and practice questions designed to introduce third-year JD students and interested LLM students to all components of the bar exam in most jurisdictions. It is offered every spring semester. The spring 2011 program details and schedule are attached in a Word document below. The law school has retained Bar/Bri of Pennsylvania to present some parts of the program through video lectures. Representatives of Bar/Bri will present other parts live. Regular participation is recommended but not essential. Students who cannot attend all sessions or take all sets of practice questions should still participate whenever they can.   

All program materials are available from the “BEAT Bar Exam Preparation” TWEN course webpage, listed under Professor Bratman. The password will be or has been emailed to all third-year students. If you did not receive it, please contact Professor Bratman. In advance of any session, please print and bring a hard copy of the relevant Lecture Handout and Practice Question(s), which you can download from the TWEN site. You can access the Outline for each of those sessions and the Practice Answer(s) online during the session.

Please note that the BEAT program does not replace but rather supplements and eases the transition into your standard summer commercial preparation course.
