New Study Guide Teaches How to Research and Draft a Legal Brief in 90 Minutes

BarWrite® Press Launches New Book for Bar Candidates, Law Students, Lawyers

On the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) bar candidates must not only research and write a brief or another law office task, they must finish the job in just 90 minutes. Now 35 jurisdictions require the MPT on the bar exam. Pennsylvania has its own performance test, and so does California, which allows 3 hours. The challenges are the same everywhere.

“My aim is to help bar candidates excel on performance tests, and to help law students and practitioners perform basic law office tasks more efficiently,” says Dr. Mary Campbell Gallagher. At the end of May, BarWrite® Press will launch Dr. Gallagher’s new study guide “Perform Your Best on the Bar Exam Performance Test (MPT): How to Finish the MPT in 90 Minutes and Excel, With 12 Actual MPT Tasks, Sample Answers, Point Sheets, and Complete Analyses.”

The book “Perform Your Best on the Bar Exam Performance Test (MPT)” features:

• Detailed instructions for the time-saving MPT-Matrix(TM) system for noting research quickly on one sheet of paper, which avoids note-taking and provides a blueprint for rapid drafting
• Instructions and templates for producing major MPT types, including the MPT brief template, memorandum template, and letter template
• The 4-Step Perform Your Best MPT System(TM) for managing time and finishing any task
• Twelve (12) actual MPT tasks, as released by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE), including a range of difficulty and a variety of formats, and 12 Graders Point Sheets
• An Analytic Note on each of the 12 MPT tasks, explaining how to read and outline the instructions, and how to organize and present each work product for a higher score
• Twelve (12) complete sample answers for those actual MPT tasks, demonstrating appropriate format, content, tone, and organization for each task
