BU Law’s ‘Fundamentals Track’ for Bar-Seeking LLM Students

Boston University LLMFor LL.M. students interested in taking an American bar, Boston University School of Law is introducing a new program designed to help with bar preparation.

Entitled the Fundamentals Track, this program is an optional add-on to BU’s existing American Law program. The program focuses on two courses, Real Property and Evidence, as these are considered by many civil law trained lawyers to be the most difficult aspects of the bar exam.

The courses, which can be taken sequentially or individually, are offered in the Spring semester and run for 6 weeks each.  They focus on the black-letter doctrine of both subjects and will cover the material in a more substantive manner than a summer bar preparation course.  Even better, completion of the courses gives students 2 credits per course toward the completion of their LL.M. degree, meaning that bar preparation can be intertwined with degree completion.

The “Fundamentals Track” is an excellent complement to BU’s already existing bar preparation options in its American Law program, which includes comprehensive counseling from the LL.M. program’s professional development staff on bar requirements and weekly LL.M.-only discussions in several of the most popular doctrinal classes.

For students looking to achieve a good balance between preparation for the bar and academics, BU’s American law program with bar preparation options may be a perfect fit.
