#lawstudents (@unc_law & others): Make it easy for your prof to read & understand your #finalexam answer. Don't make your prof hunt for your rules or analysis in giant paragraphs of text. Make it easy for your prof to want to award you points on your answer. Aim for clear & concise writing. Use short sentences, paragraph breaks, and headings/subheadings.

.@unc_law students and #lawstudents throughout the country (particularly 1Ls): With #finalexams approaching, many of you may be thinking about working/updating a #lawschool outline. Many of you may also be looking for additional practice questions and final exam resources and tips. I provide some below.

Studying for the #barexam is not fun. This will be a challenging couple of months. But it is a doable challenge, and you can get it done! Here are some of my #barprep tips that I share with my students. Acknowledge that this won’t be a great experience. But also acknowledge that the majority of folks who take the bar pass on their first try. You don't need an "A." You just need to accumulate enough points in your bucket to pass. Studying smart can help you get those points.

Law students (particularly 1Ls): Finals are here. Remember to support your conclusions w/ analysis. Apply the law to the facts of the hypo for every issue you spot. Conclusory answers (conclusions w/out analysis) don’t get you a lot of points (if any). You can do this!
@unc_law @unc_law The facts of the hypo are your friends. The facts are there to help nudge you (sometimes quite directly) to your analysis. If you are stuck on the exam and don't know where to go, first take a couple of deeps breaths. Then re-read the call of the question. Then revisit the facts.
