PREPARING TO PRACTICE

As a University of Arizona Law student, you will be supported every step of the way as you prepare to take the bar exam.

PROFESSIONAL SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE PROGRAM

 

This innovative program emphasizes a readiness mindset and professional skills to help you succeed in law school and later as an attorney.

From there, all first-year students take a required single credit “Preparing to Practice” course in their fall semester that covers topics such as professional identity and study skills, while also teaching non-cognitive skills for lawyers like grit, identifying implicit biases, and stress management.

After the first year, the Professional Skills and Knowledge Program offers a large menu of resources.

Programming includes online resources from our in-school partner Helix Bar Review, bar success counseling, various specialty courses and workshops, expert panels featuring past bar takers, and a simulated half bar exam each spring that delivers personalized feedback for each student.
