the must-take training from LTS/Law Training Schools

- One. We make the MPT easier for you
We know that the MPT is hard to read and hard to manage in 90 minutes.
We put our 15 years of experience into making it easier for you. We
teach skills for maximizing your points. Giving the graders what they
want. Reading the materials only once. How do we do it? With proven
exercises. With unique interactive exercises. With lots of practice.
With daily feed-back. Remember our guarantee: We will correct every
paper and return it to you the day you hand it in. And you will even
have fun while you learn.
- Two. We give you practical systems
Other courses give you a few MPT tips like "Read carefully." Then they
just hand you the old MPT exams from the National Conference of Bar
Examiners and a few answers, and tell you to go practice. LTS will
give you carefully-designed exercises that can develop your skills.
Your materials are designed by Dr. Mary Campbell Gallagher, author
of the highly-acclaimed book Scoring High on Bar Exam Essays, which
the St. John's Law School Forum called "The best [money] you can
spend on bar exam preparation." You will learn our trademarked LTS
systems to outline the MPT task for maximum points. You will learn
to write section headings that speak straight to the grader. You
will develop skills and gain confidence.
- Three. Your satisfaction is guaranteed!
At LTS we know our Schools are the best. So we make this money-back
guarantee: Attend the first half of the first day of your LTS course,
and if you are dissatisfied for any reason, return your materials to
the Teaching Assistant and get a full refund by mail within 10 days.
No arguments. No questions.
Dr. Gallagher stays after the class to answer every student's questions.
