Bar Preparation Program

At MLER, we demand the highest level of professionalism from our students. Our students are taught to be dedicated and responsible professionals during the study process in order to ensure their success on the Illinois Bar Exam. The same level of professionalism and commitment is demanded from our tutors. All of our tutors are provided with extensive training on bar exam writing methods, student counseling, and stress management.

Program Dates, Times, and Location

Classes for the MLER Bar Exam Preparation Program cover six-week periods in January (February Bar) and June (July Bar). See our February 2012 Exam Schedule for a detailed view of the time commitment. All Program classes are held at the Northwestern University School of Law, 357 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60611.

Program Commitment

Please note that it is essential that each student registered with the MLER Program attend each session in its entirety. Tutors are asked to attend every Thursday from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., and we expect students to respect their donated time and energy.

What We Expect

The students of our Bar Exam Preparation Program are provided with a wide range of services to increase their likelihood of success on the bar exam.

Enroll in a commercial bar review course
Attend MLER every week and take all exams
Create and follow a study schedule
Repeater students are encouraged to complete all homework assignments
Maintain a POSITIVE mental attitude, believing in your success, and making a
commitment to become an MLER tutor once you have passed the bar.
