Workshops and Programs

This session covers applying for admission to the bar, the basic structure of the bar exam, how to prepare for the bar exam (including selecting a commercial bar review provider), planning for bar study, and paying for bar-related costs. 

Alumni of SLU LAW receive complimentary boxed lunches during the Missouri Bar exam.

These workshops provide an introduction to the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE), including a discussion on each of the subsections of the UBE - the Multistate Essay Exam (MEE), the Multistate Performance Test (MPT), and the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE). The workshops also will include extensive advice on strategies for creating the best study environment and engaging in actual bar exam study.
