MPRE Mindmaps and Lectures
Mindmaps
I have created mindmaps (linked below) for students preparing to take the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE). This test is administered by the National Conference of Bar Examiners three (3) times each year, and is a prerequisite to bar admission in Louisiana (and many other jurisdictions). Anyone taking the MPRE should take a review course, such as the course offered by BAR/BRI Louisiana.
Lectures
The MPRE lectures below were recorded in October 2009. These lectures are based on the information contained in the MindMaps embedded above.
