Second Edition is now out! The book offers annotated exchanges to show what an attorney might do (or not want to do) while interviewing a client. Part 5 is new & focuses on ways that the #NextGen bar exam may assess interviewing & client counseling skills. @WestAcademic
Congratulations @unc_law Class of 2024 for receiving a 93% passing rate for first-time test takers on the July 2024 North Carolina bar exam!!
If you were unsuccessful...your bar exam results don't define you. Reach out when you're ready. We will get it done the next time! ❤️
What a celebration honoring the amazing civil rights attorney and former @NAACP_LDF President and Director-Counsel, Ted Shaw! Ted is a wonderful @unc_law colleague, where he continues to inspire and mentor future civil rights attorneys. youtu.be/QHTVB-rJFQA

It's LEAP Day! LEAP's @unc_law's voluntary pre-orientation program that helps 1Ls transition to the academic rigors of law school in a welcoming environment. Missing @RachelGurvich, who always does a great job helping w/ LEAP. Thankful for other faculty/staff who are helping out.
For those of you taking the July 2024 #barexam, here are some thoughts on what you may consider doing this last week: linkedin.com/posts/o-j-salin…

For those of you not taking the Uniform #barexam: Remember to check your state board of law examiner’s websites. Many of the state boards have free old questions/sample answers, including Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Delaware, and California.
Remember that you're not required to get an “A” on the #barexam—you just need a pass. Don’t stress if you're not getting “A” results on your practice questions. You don’t need an “A” on the bar exam to get your law license.
Six weeks out from the #barexam. Some tips/encouragement for the @unc_law Class of 2024 and others trucking through #barprep:
Six weeks until the #barexam may seem daunting. You may feel like you have so much law still to learn & so much more practice to perform. This is a natural feeling—one that, unfortunately, likely won’t subside.
You won't feel 100% about the substantive law, & that's okay!

#Barexam takers: Keep preparing for the MBE! Keep completing practice questions! Your MBE score will highly influence whether you pass. On the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE), your MBE score is 50% of your bar exam score!
But...your MBE preparation can also help you with your essays.
Some may say @KimKardashian’s comment is a present sense impression. 🤷🏼♂️Another commonly tested #MBE exception, along with excited utterance.
“Sharing a photo of her stacks of notes, Kim wrote on her Instagram Story June 4, ‘I can't deal w all these f--king hearsay exceptions!’”
For all those studying Evidence for the bar exam, see. You’re not alone on struggling with hearsay.

If you have an #MBE mortgage question with multiple creditors/interests, and you are unsure of the answer...it's likely wise to go with the answer choice that references purchase money mortgage (PMM).

Here are some quick tips on answering common negligence & negligence-related #MBE #barexam questions.
1/2 of your Torts #MBE questions will test negligence & negligence-related topics (like negligence per se & res ipsa). Negligence is also regularly tested on the #barexam essays. Say it w/me: Duty; Breach; Causation; & Physical Damages. @unc_law Class of 2024

Success on the Civ Pro #barexam questions means understanding jurisdiction & venue. Here is a venue tip....Venue relates to which fed district court is the proper court for the case. THINK: Venue is proper in any district where the defendant "REPs."
Jurisdiction & venue are heavily tested on the Civ Pro #MBE #barexam questions. @unc_law Class of 2024.
