Bar exam readiness: Graduates prepare with purpose to perform with confidence

At a Participant’s Choice Event held today, FAMU Law graduates selected activities to support and strengthen their success. 🎓⚖️ 🧡💚

The Academic Success and Bar Preparation Department program included:
• A Mini-MBE Simulation #1 Review and Frameworking Refresh, led by professors
• Chair massage sessions with a licensed massage therapist
• Activity stations (coloring, thank-you notes, games, puzzles, and more) designed to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and encourage mindfulness, led by the Counseling Services Department
• Mentoring with R.I.S.E. Program Alumna Sara Falkowski and Alumna Arianna Hoye, who shared, insights, study tips and notes, and words of encouragement.

Also, the Career Planning and Professional Development Department shared updates about current opportunities.

Thank you to FAMU Law leadership, faculty, staff, and alumni for their continued support and to ensure our graduates R.I.S.E. ⭐ 💫

The R.I.S.E. Program (Resources for Increasing Success on Exams) is a comprehensive academic success program that integrates bar exam readiness throughout the entire law school experience, beginning in the first year and continuing through post-graduation bar preparation.

End-of-life planning may be a difficult topic, but it is a necessary conversation.

FAMU College of Law’s Economic Justice Clinic faculty recently led a Legacy Planning Workshop at the City of Orlando’s L. Claudia Allen Senior Center.

During the workshop, participants learned about heirs’ property, wills, powers of attorney, health care directives and more.

The workshop aimed to help community members protect their assets, secure their legacies, and build generational wealth. The program included in-depth discussions, examples of real-world scenarios, demonstrations, and opportunities for participants to ask questions.

🤫Shhh…Quiet please, simulated bar exam in progress ⚖️ 📝

Today, FAMU juris doctor graduates are taking a simulated exam for Bar Prep. Taking practice tests in an exam setting helps build mental and physical endurance, improve time management, assess knowledge, strengthens confidence, and more.

The simulated exam is part of the Academic Success and Bar Preparation Department’s R.I.S.E. Program (Resources for Increasing Success on Exams). The comprehensive academic success program integrates bar exam readiness throughout the entire law school experience, beginning in the first year and continuing through post-graduation bar preparation. 📚

Also, part of today’s preparation, the Counseling Services Department staff was available before the simulated exam, to offer a mindfulness activity to help graduates with relaxation. 🌿

We are proud of the dedication, diligence, and perseverance our graduates continue to demonstrate in preparation for their next important milestone. 🎓 🧡💚
