Walter McLaughlin has spent most of his legal career preparing students to pass the Bar Examination. Shortly after graduating from Harvard Law School Magna Cum Laude in 1960 where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review, Mr. McLaughlin, started the Smith McLaughlin Hart (SMH) Bar Review with Professors Fred Hart and James Smith of Boston College Law School.
     For the next thirty years over thirty thousand students preparing for the Massachusetts Bar Examination enrolled in that course. The methods and techniques used in the classroom then are now presented on-line in the McLaughlin Massachusetts Bar Review course.
     In 1990 Walter McLaughlin joined the faculty of Suffolk Law School as an adjunct professor and has taught a course as Suffolk to prepare students for the bar examination since 1997. In 1999, when Suffolk moved into its new building, which is the most technologically advanced law school building in the country, he was able to use Powerpoint® to teach the bar review in a much more effective manner. He has now placed his lectures and Powerpoint® presentations on the internet.
