BarWrite® announces that it will include three-day New York Essay Boot Camps among its supplemental classes for the July 2007 bar exam. There will be two sessions, Tuesday through Thursday, June 12-14, or Tuesday through Thursday, July 10-12, 2007.
According to BarWrite's president, Mary Campbell Gallagher, J.D., Ph.D, each Essay Boot Camp will be an immersion intensive, meeting three weekdays in a row, eight hours a day, in Midtown Manhattan.
Students in the Boot Camps will practice rapidly outlining multiple essay answers and drafting lawyerlike paragraphs, using the trademarked Under-Here-Therefore essay systems Dr. Gallagher teaches in her highly-acclaimed book Scoring High on Bar Exam Essays.
"This strenuous exercise will strengthen students' essay-writing skills," Dr. Gallagher says. "It is like a speed march for essay-writers in rough terrain with a heavy pack." In addition, students will not wait hours or days for comments, since Dr. Gallagher and her teaching assistants will present a group critique of typical responses for each essay question, with examples of good, mediocre and poor responses. Students in the New York Essay Boot Camps will also get to compare their answers immediately with sample answers in the BarWrite Book. Many students praise the Gallagher/BarWrite systems. Writes David Scott, a graduate of Whittier Law School, "Your caring and cajoling forced me to memorize the law, and your formatting techniques made it look stellar."
In earlier news, BarWrite announced that it will expand its popular nine-day supplemental class for the New York bar exam into a ten-day class, to include not only New York essays, the Gallagher/BarWrite MBE study techniques, and the Multistate Performance Test (MPT), as before, and both a pre-test and a re-test on the MBE, but also a full day of writing practice New York essay questions under exam conditions. The course will be called the BarWrite Ten-Day Group Coaching School.
