First Day of Baby Bar Boot Camp!

by Amy Kerschner

We started Boot Camp this year with 16 students, with a few more arriving a bit later than the first group. This class is raring to go, ready to conquer this exam for the glory of our Lord. 

We "eased" them into their studies with a full mock-baby-bar exam, with essays carefully selected to challenge their legal depth and creativity. While the class was doing their MBEs, the mentors reviewed 54 student essays, provided constructive criticism, and individual feedback for each student, which we then emailed to them before we broke into small groups to discuss the essay sets. After dinner we again broke into small groups to discuss the MBEs that students had missed.

The mentor team is excited to see how God is going to work in this class:

Katie- "This is going to be a great week. The students are great, the location is great, the food is great...the subjects are great, the mentor team is absolutely great...the weather is great, I have the best roommates, and the elevators are just great."

Emily- "The MBE small group review last evening was encouraging as we engaged in several lively black letter law debates... The students are lawyers in the making!"

Amy- "I'm just blessed and thrilled to be able to invest in this class, and to encourage them in their studies. That moment when a student 'gets it' just makes my day, and this group of students are eager to 'get it.' I'm encouraged by their cooperation and their downright determination."

Please keep this class and the mentor team in your prayers!
