American Bar Association Bar Exam MPT Preparation & Experiential Learning
Book SynopsisBar exams—the notoriously rigorous multi-day tests required to become a licensed lawyer—include essays, multiple choice questions, and a practical section called the performance test ("PT"). Most jurisdictions use a multi-state performance test ("MPT"). Without a doubt, MPTs and PTs generally are the best parts of modern bar exams, and the best time to master them is during law school. Do not wait until bar review after graduation. Train now and pass your first bar exam.Performance tests are practical and realistic; they are open-book skills exams that require the kind of critical reading, analysis, and writing work that today's lawyers actually do. They do not require memorization; they include libraries so you can look up relevant rules during the exam—just as you would in practice. Because PTs test skills and not memory, once you learn how to successfully complete a performance test, you can take and pass any MPT the bar examiners throw at you. All you need is to 1) understand the exam and the skills it tests, 2) develop a success strategy, and 3) practice, practice, practice.This book provides everything necessary for MPT success—a clear and logical explanation of what you need to know; test-taking strategies, tips, and tools; and a bank of online resources with practice exams and sample answers.Reading Bar Exam MPT Preparation & Experiential Learning for Law Students during law school: Gives you a down payment for success on the bar exam; Provides exposure to practical lawyering skills that will help you transition effectively to law practice; Helps law school come alive, especially if it sometimes feels like you are just reading and briefing cases; and Empowers you to see beyond your student identity and envision yourself as a future professional. With this book's practice exams, you will act as the lawyer and "represent" almost a dozen clients—some facing criminal charges, others embroiled in civil litigation, and some dealing with business transactions. You will draft memos, briefs, discovery plans, affidavits, closing arguments, cross examinations, letters to clients, and more. So, dig in! Enjoy the read, and prepare for a successful future.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Advanced Introduction to Private Law
Book Synopsis'A clear, accurate and extraordinary concise guide to the major doctrines of private law and current thought about what they mean.- James Gordley, Tulane University School of LawElgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences and law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. In this Advanced Introduction, one of the world's leading private law scholars takes the reader on an intellectual journey through the different facets and dimensions of the field, from the family home to Kuta Beach and from Thomas Piketty to Nina Hagen. This concise book provides an accessible and fresh introduction to private law, presenting the topic as a unified whole of which the main branches - on contract, tort, property, family and inheritance - are governed by conflicts between individual autonomy and countervailing principles. The book stands out as a unique account of how private law allows individuals to optimally flourish in matters of economy, work, leisure, family and life in general.Key features include:- succinct yet engaging and highly informative overview of private law, aimed at an audience of specialists and non-specialists alike- written in a clear and engaging style- ample attention to the policy choices behind the rules- examples from a wide range of jurisdictions in both Europe, the UK and the US- places private law in its larger economic and societal context- addresses the potential and the limits of private law in dealing with global societal challenges, such as economic inequality, the fair use of resources and protecting future generations- considers how the field could develop in the future. Engaging and wide-ranging, this is an excellent introduction for students and academics new to the field and allows practitioners to quickly master the core principles behind private law.Trade Review'This Advanced Introduction to Private Law reviews the development of private law on contract, tort, property, family and succession. The way in which it underlines conflicts between private autonomy and countervailing principles is fascinating for all those needing to quickly gain an understanding of the core principles and key issues on private law.' --Benedicte Fauvarque-Cosson, University of Paris II Pantheon-Assas, France'Jan Smits succeeds in giving a jargon-free and masterly concise overview of the essential questions and debates in private law. Law students would be well advised to read it twice: once at the very beginning and again at the very end of their private law studies. Non-lawyers will find it accessible and stimulating, and they will be surprised how interesting the law is, once it is reduced to its core issues.' --Stefan Vogenauer, Max Planck Institute for European Legal History, Frankfurt, Germany'This book provides a splendid overview of the key questions of private law. It is written in a crystal-clear and straightforward language and addresses all core problems of the law of contract, tort and property and of family law and succession law. All issues are placed in a wider social context and often illustrated by references to solutions of English, American, French or German law. While the book was written for a general audience and lacks technical jargon and conceptual refinements it should nonetheless be read by law students as well because it demonstrates in a stimulating and persuasive manner how private law tries to find its way between ensuring the individual's freedom of choice, on the one hand, and the search for fairness, the defense of the weak and vulnerable and the protection of the public interest, on the other.' --Hein Kotz, Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law, Hamburg, GermanyTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Art of Mooting: Theories, Principles and
Book SynopsisAdvocacy skills, which are learnt in the moot court, as a precursor to the effective communication of persuasive legal argument, are essential for those seeking a career in law. The skills associated with successful mooting, cover the entire range of the domains of human activity: intellectual, physical and emotional. This informative book examines the theories relevant to the development of skills necessary for effective participation in competition moots. By consideration of underlying theories, Mark Thomas and Lucy Cradduck develop unique models of the skills of the cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains and effective team dynamics, emphasising the importance of written submissions. The authors use this analysis to develop a unique integrated model that informs the process of coaching moot teams according to reliable principles. The Art of Mooting distils the theories and principles that support successful moot performances, grounding these in practical examples of how a mooter's skills may be developed and improved. It is an essential guide for moot coaches, law and advocacy students and academics seeking to improve their skills, and new and existing practitioners. Trade Review'This book offers brilliant new insights on the intellectual, physical and emotional aspects of mooting. In an era of growing emphasis on experiential learning and innovation in legal education, Thomas and Cradduck have given law teachers and students worldwide a valuable new tool to hone their crafts. The intertwining of pedagogical concepts and practical strategies is indispensable for full-time professors, adjunct coaches, peer mentors, and moot directors. The explanation of why and how to prepare for success also makes this book a must-read resource for every student mooting for fun or competition.' --Jeremy de Beer, University of Ottawa, Canada'The Art of Mooting provides an effective guide to the practical and theoretical aspects of mooting. The book combines the practical know-how that mooters need at each stage of a moot competition with the thorough theoretical and pedagogical approach that coaches require. It is therefore an indispensable resource for both mooters and moot coaches. If mooting is an art, this book puts everyone on the path to becoming an artist.' --Louise Parsons, Bond University, Australia'Happily, it has become fashionable to nod when told what a good thing mooting is for legal students and their instructors. But with their book, Mark Thomas and Lucy Cradduck take a more considered and rigorous approach, examining how and why mooting is so beneficial. Good advocacy synthesises thoughtfulness and experience. So does this book. It will be of interest and value to anyone with a stake in good legal education - and that, surely, is all of us.' --Stuart Baran, Three New Square, UKTable of ContentsContents: Foreword 1.
