Taking the #BarExam as an international, foreign-trained LL.M. student? You’re not alone — and we’re here to support you. Navigating the shift to U.S. law can be challenging. Key hurdles include: ➡️ Case law reasoning: U.S. legal analysis and grading differ from many global systems. ➡️ Civil to common law: Adapting from civil to U.S. common law requires a new way of thinking. ➡️ Legal English: Mastering legal English sharpens your ability to understand nuanced exam questions. ➡️ Multiple-choice mastery: Unlike oral exams or open-ended essays, U.S. bar exams rely heavily on multiple-choice strategy. Thankfully, Professor Tommy Sangchompuphen breaks down these challenges — and how to overcome them — in his latest article for the American Bar Association (ABA). 💡 Pro Tip: For just $25/year, you can join the #ABA as a student member and access valuable bar prep resources, including this article!

The journey to justice is a shared path — one that our Online LL.M. community proudly walks alongside change-makers from around the world. The University of Dayton Human Rights Center recently launched its report: "Looking Back and Reaching Forward: Commemorating the International Decade for People of African Descent and the Human Rights of Women and Girls." The event marked International Human Rights Day and explored the vital role of women of African descent, calling for continued action to protect, promote, and celebrate their rights. 📘 Read through the preliminary report here: https://lnkd.in/gH-6GnRV #HumanRightsDay #OurRightsOurFuture #UDayton #EquityAndJustice #HumanRights #OnlineLLM #DaytonLaw
