Registration fee: $350
Effective LSAT prep need not take forever and a small fortune: You will receive 14 hours of expert classroom instruction and extensive handouts.
Where: The classroom location will be disclosed upon registration. The course is offered through the University’s Legal Studies Association. Contact Dr. Neil Strine at hstrin2@bloomu.edu or (570) 389-4252 with any logistical questions.
