Download iCal FileJoin the Dean of Academic Achievement, Erin Crist, in a 2-day bar prep workshop using curriculum from Whatstheissue. The workshop is a practical, down to earth, and personal approach to the Bar exam. Whether you are a first-time taker or repeater, you can prepare yourself for success—and without being bored, exhausted or insecure.
"What's The Issue" is a bar preparation program that includes lessons on Torts, Contracts, Criminal Law & Procedure, Property, Constitutional Law, Evidence, and Federal Civil Procedure.
The basis of the name, WhatsTheIssue? is from the overwhelming problem most students have in identifying the ONE issue that is being tested in each question on the Bar. Rather than just having hundreds of “fancy words” and latin phrases in your head, I teach you HOW to identify the single rule or issue that is presented and HOW to locate the single corresponding answer. If you know WHAT the issue is, you will know WHY you are picking the answer you choose—rather than thinking what the answer MIGHT BE! In fact, one of my mantras for the Bar is:
I teach fundamentals of law, and easy to apply techniques for both the MBE and Essay portions of the test, techniques designed to teach you HOW to pass the test, not just learn more information.
Whether or not these make sense to you now, they will soon! If you start practicing these and other principles, you will not simply hope to pass—you will truly believe in it! - Jonathan
We strongly encourage both first time and repeat bar takers to attend this live, 2-day workshop in person.
