ATLANTA’S JOHN MARSHALL LAW SCHOOL | STUDENT SUCCESS

a proactive approach ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND BAR SUCCESS The Office of Academic Achievement and Bar Success (AABS) supports students by focusing on enhancing and strengthening the academic skills that ensure law school and bar exam success. AABS offers multiple opportunities for students to identify, strengthen, and expand their academic skills through individual mentoring, tutoring, small-group projects, workshops, and formal course offerings.

Comprised of a team of dedicated, engaged, and passionate academic support professionals, AABS facilitates and assists students in developing academic action plans and helps students and alumni meet their academic goals and professional aspirations in a supportive environment. In addition to individualized academic counseling, AABS offers specific courses to support student learning outcomes during their time at AJMLS. After students graduate, AABS offers a strong bar exam support program based on experience, best practices, and data analytics that include a variety of opportunities for alumni to increase their chances for success on the bar exam.

BAR SUCCESS PROGRAMMING DURING LAW SCHOOL Although most students will spend significant time preparing for the bar exam after graduation, AJMLS students are provided a unique advantage by jumpstarting their bar preparation through a variety of workshops designed to provide helpful insights, develop impactful study strategies, and to increase confidence. Additionally, to further support future success outcomes on the bar exam, the following specialized course offerings based on learning theory and data analytics are offered to students during their second and third years of study.

MASTERING LEGAL PRINCIPLES (MLP) A two-part course beginning in the second year that begins the threecourse series of programming to enhance student success outcomes on the bar exam. The first course (MLP I) provides skill-building, strategies, and opportunities to engage in an intensive review of heavily tested bar exam subjects.

Students will apply, practice, and assess the skills learned and legal concepts reviewed by engaging in simulations of the various components of the multistate bar exam (MBE) and through practice essays.

From study skills to passing the bar, we’re there — teaching, The second course (MLP II) provides mentoring and guiding additional skill-building, strategies, opportunities to engage in an you along your path to and intensive review of additional heavily success. tested bar exam subjects. Students

summer bar workshops hosted in 2021 will continue to apply, practice, and build upon the skills learned and legal concepts reviewed in MLP I. MASTERING LEGAL SKILLS (MLS) MLS introduces third-year students to the Multistate Performance Test (MPT), a component of both the Georgia bar exam and the vast majority of bar exams in other jurisdictions. Through this course, students actively enhance, enrich, and develop analytical skills through multiple assessments, exercises, and formative feedback. Students will receive instruction and practical guidance with regard to improving their individual MPT performances, along with reviewing and discussing strategies to achieve overall success on the written components of bar exams.

BAR SUCCESS PROGRAMMING AFTER LAW SCHOOL After graduation, alumni are provided with an opportunity to participate in the bar success program. The supplemental bar success program is not intended to be a substitute for a commercial bar review but rather is intended to be an added benefit and support program to alumni sitting and preparing for the upcoming bar exam. The program focuses on engagement, opportunities for improvement, and individual development through a series of panels and workshops, one-on-one coaching with a bar review coach from the AABS team, small group

discussions, and experienced guidance in utilizing best practices to achieve success. In addition, the AABS Alumni Bar Mentoring Program provides students with opportunities to engage with alumni who have achieved recent success on the bar exam. This coordinated approach with a variety of institutional resources and a strong partnership with commercial bar review ensures that our alumni are in the best position to experience success on the bar exam.

STUDENT AFFAIRS AJMLS makes a concerted effort to provide a learning environment that is collegial and supportive. Specifically, the Office of Student Affairs strives to create opportunities for personal, academic, and professional growth and to maintain a supportive and inclusive community for all students. This is accomplished by promoting communication, the free exchange of ideas, and interaction between and among groups.

The Office makes every effort to instill a sense of professionalism and community, while fostering academic and social integration.

PEER MENTORSHIP PROGRAM The Peer Mentorship Program helps improve the quality of life for new students by providing social and personal support. By making mentors available to all first-year students, we hope to improve overall academic performance, provide an ongoing orientation to all aspects of law school, and foster academic and social integration.

The program strives to enhance the learning and holistic development of students both in and out of the classroom.

PROFESSIONALISM SERIES PROGRAM The Professionalism Series establishes good practices and

high ethical standards early in our students’ legal training. It is also an opportunity for students to develop their professional identity by engaging with judges, practicing lawyers, and legal experts who exude the highest standards of professionalism and ethics. Participation in the Series is mandatory for first-year students.

Speakers and moderators represent a broad demographic and present on a broad range of topics.

Diversity and inclusion are core values of the Law School and we accomplish these goals by grappling with some of the most complex and controversial issues affecting the country.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS The Office of Student Affairs oversees all student groups and strongly encourages collaboration and coalitions among student groups, especially when planning events. The Law School has a long history of student activism and welcomes the formation of new student organizations. Student organizations permit students to explore personal passions, network with students and attorneys with similar interests, engage in professional, cultural, and social events, and educate the Law School and legal communities about issues that are important to them and relevant to the missions of their organizations.

Examples of organizations: Black Law Students Association, Charlotte E. Ray Law Society, Christian Legal Society, Corporate and Business Law Society, Criminal Law Society, Georgia Association of Women Lawyers, Law Journal, Moot Court, OUTLaws and Allies, Phi Alpha Delta, Public Interest Law Society, Sports and Entertainment Law Society, Student Bar Association, Student Trial Lawyers Association.
