The D. Augustus Straker Bar Association will present its 2025 Stanley De Jongh Minority Bar Passage Program online from January 8 through February 5 via Zoom.
The 2025 Stanley De Jongh Minority Bar Passage Program (MBPP) is designed to improve bar passage rates of law school graduates sitting for the Michigan Bar Exam. Statistics reveal that many law school graduates underestimate the importance of the essay portion on the bar exam. Therefore, while traditional bar review courses focus only on the multi-state part of the exam, the MBPP uniquely focuses on essay writing techniques to help you maximize your overall bar exam results. Also, the MBPP offers a rare and extremely informative live lecture from an actual member of the Michigan Board of Bar Examiners!
Through weekly examinations, a mock bar examination, group and one-on-one sessions, as well as lectures by local attorneys, MBPP provides assistance in the areas of Essay Writing, Skills/Strategy, Test Taking Skills/Strategy, Time Management, and Stress Management. MBPP does not review substantive law. Accordingly, MBPP should be taken in conjunction with a traditional bar review course to give law grads the ultimate edge in studying for both the multi-state and essay sections of the exam.
Dates for the program schedule are:
• Wednesday, January 8, from 6 to 8 p.m.—Registration, Lecture, MPT Question
• Wednesday, January 15, from 6 to 8 p.m.—DIRAC Lecture, 3 MEE Questions
• Wednesday, January 22, from 6 to 8 p.m.—UBE Prep Lecture, 1 MPT Question
• Wednesday, January 29, from 6 to 8 p.m.—Keeping the Bar in Perspective, 3 MEEs
• Saturday, February 1, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.—Complete Mock Bar Exam
• Wednesday, February 5, from 6 to 8 p.m.—Meet at Vicente’s Cuban Cuisine
Chairpersons for the MBPP are Vassal Johnson II and Toya Y. Jefferson.
Cost for law graduates is $75. To register or for additional information, visit https://strakerlaw.org and scroll down to “Upcoming Events.”
