The library continues to be a resource for College of Law students even after graduation. As many 3Ls prepare to tackle the bar, it is helpful to consider what resources are available at the library for bar studying.

Supplements for the MPRE & MBE

While apart from the two-day bar exam, the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) is a required exam to become fully licensed to practice. The library has supplements in the “professional responsibility” that cover Q&A, outlines, and examples & explanations.

Likewise, the library has supplements for the MBE in the “multistate” section of the supplements. There’s something for every type of learner including a supplement on strategies, different bar company resources, and informational guides.

The MPRE and MBE supplements are available to check out for up to 7 days. The supplements can be found in the supplements section of the book stacks.

Barbri Flashcards

The Barbri Law Master study key flashcards are also available. All the flashcards are found behind the library desk and are 7-day checkouts.

Outlines
