Studying for the bar exam in late July? Six weeks out, you're likely immersed in topics like issue preclusion, hearsay exceptions, and equitable servitudes. When you need a study break, though, check out the Goodson Law Library’s collection of print and online materials designed to help you do your very best.
This summer, you will find a selection of current bar study books in the blue self-service LibCabinets in the Reading Room on level 3. We have works covering test-taking strategies, managing bar prep material, and most importantly, staying healthy during this stressful time. Some examples include The Bar Exam in a Nutshell (also available online), The Ultimate Guide to the UBE, and The Zen of Passing the Bar Exam.
You can access additional works online with your NetID and password via the West Academic Study Aids Library. Look for Bar Exam Success: A Comprehensive Guide or Acing the Bar Exam: A Checklist Approach to Taking the Bar Exam. We also have Short & Happy Guides to Conquering the Multistate Bar Exam, the Multistate Performance Test, and the Multistate Essay Examination. More print and e-book titles can be found in the Duke Libraries Catalog with a subject search for “Bar examinations -- United States”.
Remember, you’ve got this, and we’ve got you! If you’re a Duke Law graduate studying here in Durham, drop by the library’s Circulation Desk to reserve a study carrel through July 28, grab a bookmark, or enjoy a treat. And as always, feel free to Ask a Librarian if we can assist you in any way.
