The bar examination may be one of the most intellectually challenging experiences for any law school graduate. The stakes are high — and so is the stress. To help our students prepare for the test, we offer bar preparation courses from commercial vendors. This is a unique program that focuses preparation by concentrating on strategies and tactics to pass the bar exam.

Our bar prep classes meet once or twice a week in the afternoons for our summer bar prep course and in the evenings for our winter bar prep course. All classes are videotaped and posted online. Our key emphasis is not the classes themselves, but completing practice essays every week. We will also cooperate with UMKC J.D. and LL.M. students who are not in Kansas City during the summer.
