CAN YOU RESEARCH AND DRAFT A LEGAL BRIEF IN 90 MINUTES?

How can a bar candidate develop the habits needed to perform law-office tasks well--in so little time?

This forthcoming book provides what bar candidates need to excel on the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) and other performance tests. The MPT can account for 10 per cent of a candidate's bar exam score, yet even the best bar review courses often don't teach bar candidates to produce a good MPT work product within the 90 minutes the MPT allows. Many bar review courses give students a few tips and then hand them a pile of NCBE Point Sheets and tell them to go practice. In this unique reference, students will find the step-by-step instruction they need. Perform Your BestTM teaches how to finish on time, how to get organized, how to produce a lawyerlike work product. It teaches a step-by -step system, with the most common formats explained and illustrated.
