The February 2015 Bar Exam: Have A Progression List for Every Subject

Sign up for our MBE Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar in Naples and Miami at www.barprofessors.com.

For your essays, you must have a one page progression list for every subject your bar exam covers.

As you know, the pressure to perform well on the essays can be sometimes overwhelming. Some students have told me that on game day, when they open the exam booklet, they sometimes had a brain freeze and nothing would come out of their minds until they calmed down and began the writing process. Having a progression sheet of the major issues of each subject will enable you to recall what you must write out in a certain essay.

For example, let’s take contracts. You know that, regardless of the issue, if the essay is a contracts question, you start with determining if it’s a UCC or common law question. Then you must talk formation: offer, acceptance, consideration. Then you discuss defenses, i.e. statute of frauds, incapacity, etc.

Go through these major issues in every topic. Write out a one page outline or progression list and memorize them. Then, on essay day, you can recall your progression list and start writing, knowing that you will not forget any major issues.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: Answer the Call of the Question in the Order Given

Sign up for our MBE Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar in Naples and Miami at www.barprofessors.com.

Many bar exam essays have specific issues in the call of the question that sets out what the bar examiners want you to answer. For example, in a torts question, the bar examiners want to know what the causes of actions are for a) Tom, b) Dick and c) Harry.

Each bar exam grader has a rubic that she follows when she grades her batch of essays. The rubic starts with a, then b, then c. Don’t make the bar exam grader’s job harder when she has to hunt for the answer because you started with Harry, then Tom, then Dick.

Your goal is to make it easy for the bar examiner to grade your essay and for you to get the maximum point total as you can get. If the bar examiner can’t find what she is looking for because you have mixed up the order of the call of the question, you may be cheating yourself out of hard-earned points because she can’t find it.

Follow and answer the call of the question exactly as written.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: Today Marks 4 Weeks to the Bar Exam

Sign up for our MBE Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar in Naples and Miami at www.barprofessors.com.

Today marks 1 month to the February bar exam. Today is a good day to think about where you are in terms of your studying. By this time, you should be well into knowing and understanding the law. Of course, there will be areas where you are still weak, but, overall, do you know enough law to make it through the bar exam? If not, hit those review books and try to memorize the law as much as you are able to in the next 4 weeks.

The next 4 weeks are crucial to your run up to the bar exam. Once you have the law down, you need to practice – and practice alot. Go through your practice essays and your MBE questions like the bar exam is tomorrow.

Practicing your essays, PTs and MBEs will ensure that you know the law and you know how to apply the law. Application of the law will be the difference between passing and failing.

Resist those voices of people who tell you horror stories, or want you to stop studying and power down. Accept that you have 30 days of study ahead of you. In the scheme of your lifetime, the next 30 days is not a lot of time to get yourself ready or to sacrifice to get yourself ready. It’s worth your time to have a lifetime career as a lawyer.

It’s all about getting yourself ready for the best performance of your life in February. Keep your focus.

Happy Studying!!!

The February 2015 Bar Exam: The Frequently Tested Subjects on the MBE

Sign up for our MBE Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar in Naples and Miami at www.barprofessors.com.

The Bar Examiners frequently test the same areas over and over again. Part of your preparation for the bar exam is knowing the areas in which the Bar Examiners like to test. Here are some of the more heavily tested areas on the Multistate.

Torts

Torts on the bar exam emphasizes negligence, just like in law school. Of course, negligence comes in many shapes and hues, including negligence per se, res ipsa loquitur and differing standards of care.

Evidence

When you think of evidence the only thing that should be ringing in your ears is the word hearsay. The vast expense of hearsay requires knowledge of what out-of-court assertions are not hearsay, as well as what statements fall within the exceptions. The Best Evidence Rule is on the exam, but not a highlight for examiners.

Criminal Law and Procedure

It is important to know search and seizure issues from the Fourth Amendment as well as Miranda issues from the Fifth Amendment and right to counsel issues from the Sixth Amendment. Also focus on common law crimes, such as criminal homicide.

Bar Professors will discuss Federal Civil Procedure in a separate blog posting.

The Bar Examiners frequently test the same areas over and over again. Part of your preparation for the bar exam is knowing the areas in which the Bar Examiners like to test. Here are some of the more heavily tested areas on the Multistate.

Constitutional Law

Individual rights matter a lot. These range from Equal Protection, to Due Process, to the Privileges and Immunities Clause to, of course, the First Amendment.

Property

Property law covers a wide variety of subjects. While basic Property concepts, such as easements, covenants, adverse possession, estates in land and future interests, are covered, the examiners have taken a liking to mortgages in recent years. For many students, mortgages were not even included in their basic property class.

Contracts

The most tested area in contracts is basic formation issues. Conditions, third party beneficiaries and remedies also matter.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: The Bar Exam Writing Process for your Essays

Sign up for our MBE Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar in Naples and Miami at www.barprofessors.com.

Here is a suggested list that you might want to try as you continue to practice your bar exam essays.

Allocate your time for each question

Make sure that you understand how much time you have to write your essays. If you have 3 essays to do in 3 hours, then you must allocate 1 hour each for each of your 3 essays. The Bar Examiners know this. Do not attempt to write more than one hour for one essay, even if you know the subject of one essay better than the others – you do not want to short-change any essay.

When you start to read:

Begin with the call of the question. You want to understand what the Bar Examiners are asking you, prior to reading the fact pattern. This way, you can keep in mind the call of the question as you read through the fact pattern

On reading the question:

You must read “actively”. You want to identify the area of law and the legal relationship between the parties, circle or underline any amount of money, dates, locations, quantities, and ages. Also note key words such as “oral”, “written”, “minor”.

Outline your answer before writing

After reading your fact pattern, make sure you outline your answer so you can follow an organized pattern as you write.

Use your remaining time to write:

After writing your outline, write out your essay, using headings and sub headings so that you can make it easy for your grader to follow your essay.

Selina is injured when she is hit by Patrick’s car.

She demands $250,000 in damages. Which of the following is the best argument that the complaint is insufficient under Rule 8(a)(2)?

A. The allegation is inadequate because it does not give Patrick notice of the events that are the basis of the suit.
B. The allegation is inadequate because it provides insufficient detail concerning the location and time of the accident.
C. The allegation is inadequate because it does not allege that Patrick owed Selina a duty of care.
D. The allegation is inadequate because it does not suggest that Patrick has violated a legal right that gives Selina a right to relief from him.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: Understand the Black Letter Law

Sign up for our MBE Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar in Naples and Miami at www.barprofessors.com.

You must build a good, solid foundation of the black letter law. In order to have a good foundation, you must review each bar exam subject. Go through each subject, one by one and absorb each subject as best you can. As you go through the subject, make sure you understand the basic law before you move on.

To build a foundation of the law, you need to break the subject areas into more manageable components. Break your subject into topics. And go through the elements of the topics of each subject.

What I mean by that is to take a subject, like Torts. Then break the Tort subject down to topics, i.e. Negligence. Do you know all the elements of negligence? Do you know the elements of battery? You can outline it and/or make sure you know it by heart before you move on. You can do that memorization by reciting it or writing it down without looking at your notes or outlines.

Once you feel you know that topic, do a few essay questions and some MBE on that topic just so you know you have it.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: Sound Like a Lawyer When You Write

Sign up for our MBE Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar in Naples and Miami at www.barprofessors.com.

The purpose of the bar exam is for the bar examiners to determine if you are ready to be a lawyer. That’s why using lawyer-like words will help you when you write.

I don’t mean for you to use legalisms or a lot of “wherefor art thou” type of language. Instead use the verbs that lawyers use. For example, don’t tell the bar examiners that the court will find the criminal defendant innocent. A defendant is always found not guilty. When a plaintiff prevails, don’t say that the plaintiff won the case. Instead of telling the bar examiners that the court will reject the petition, tell the bar examiners that the court will dismiss the petition. Instead of a party losing a venue issue, for example, say that the party waived his right to it.

Also use “term of art” lawyer words. For example, one of my pet peeves is when a law students doesn’t use the word pretermitted child when discussing a child who was omitted from a will . Use words like elective share when discussing what the spouse is entitled to in the will.

Your essay will be much better when you use language that lawyers use.

Remember, write like a lawyer for your bar exam essays and MPTs. Only then will the bar examiners know you are ready to practice law.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: Learn Your Bar Exam

Sign up for our MBE Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar in Miami on January 24th and 25th at www.barprofessors.com.

Bar Exams are creatures of habits. If you study your bar exam you should have a pretty good idea of what you will see when you sit for your bar exam in February 2015.

Look at past exams in your state. What is the format? Is it a long fact pattern or a short fact pattern? Look at the call of the question. What type is the call of question? Is it a generic type, i.e , talk about the issues that give you no clue as to the essay itself or is it a two or three specific questions that you can answer, pointing the way to the issues that the bar examiners want you to focus on?

Now, look at the subjects tested on your past exams. Is there a pattern of frequently tested subjects? Are there 7 or 8 topics that the bar examiners like more than others? This will enable you to practice those frequently tested subjects.

By learning your bar exam, you will be better prepared to face the unknown and you will not be surprised when you open your exam booklet on the day of the bar exam.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: Answering Only the Call of the Question

Sign up for our MBE Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar in Miami on January 24th and 25th at www.barprofessors.com.

Often in essay answers, I have seen students try to impress the bar examiners with all of their knowledge, even if it doesn’t apply to the specific call of the question.

The bar examiners don’t want a bunch of archane and esoteric information that you know about a particular subject. Don’t tell the bar examiners that the question is particularly interesting or that you know a lot of the subject at hand. Don’t make jokes in your essay answer.

Time is of the essence. The bar examiners craft the questions for the time allocated. They do not expect to see anything unrelated to the specifics of the question.

I have seen essay answers that look panic-stricken with a lot of useless information at the end of the answer, as if the student is putting everything in the answer but the kitchen sink. These brain dumps do nothing for you and will get you no extra points.
As boring as it sounds, answer the specific call of the question only.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: Essay Writing for the Bar Exam

Sign up for our MBE Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar in Miami on January 24th and 25th at www.barprofessors.com.

Essay writing is a skill that you must master in order to pass the bar exam. For those persons who have failed the bar exam and are repeat takers, you have to examine how you have answered your essays and look for ways to improve your performance.

Many bar examiners write the bar exam as if the essays are a first interview with a new client. Keep that in mind as you write for an uninformed audience. Assume your audience knows nothing about the law. For example, if the client says someone hit him, you want to explain to that client why it is a battery and why the facts indicate it is a battery. You set out the law and then you analyze the facts as it pertains to the law. A knowledge of the substantive law is essential, as well as how you communicate your analysis to your client.

A key to good communication is your organization. If you are poorly organized, the bar examiner will find it hard to follow your essay or to give you much needed points.

Make sure you practice writing essays. Essays will become easier to write as you practice.

Also, remember that you must finish your essay in the time allotted by your exam. You cannot get points if you do not complete your essay.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: Achieving Your Goals

Sign up for our MBE Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar in Miami on January 24th and 25th at www.barprofessors.com.

Goal achievement is the key to studying for the bar exam, especially if you are a repeat taker. You must keep your eye on your ultimate goal – passing the bar exam, along with figuring out how best to get to that ultimate goal of passing the bar exam.

How do you go about getting prepared for the bar exam? Let’s look at your study goals. You need to accomplish two things: the ultimate and overall goal, which is to pass the bar exam, and a day-to-day goal, which is to work towards achieving your ultimate goal.

It is not only about setting your goals for success, but also by developing the strategies to achieve the goal and then implementing the strategies.

Implementing the strategies of passing the bar exam include goals, each and every day that you must work on. We have discussed employing a study plan. That study plan should include a goal each day – i.e. working on the black letter law or working on improving your essays, MBEs or MPTs. Make sure the goal is a realistic goal, but make sure that you are moving forward each and every day. Implementing your strategy includes working on your weaknesses every day so that you can improve your performance when it comes time to sit for your bar exam.

Remember that studying for the bar exam is a journey that must be accomplished in incremental steps.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: Preparation, Success and Training

Sign up for our MBE Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar in Miami on January 24th and 25th at www.barprofessors.com.

Bar Professors will begin the process of discussing important topics to get you ready for the February 2015 bar exam. Although this advice is mainly for repeat takers, our advice can be used for those taking the bar exam for the first time.

Getting ready for the February 2015 bar exam is all about preparation. Preparation includes your mental attitude as well as your outward preparation. I often compare taking the bar exam to preparing for a marathon. You cannot jump out of bed the morning of the marathon and think that you will be able to run successfully, mile after mile, with no training. You must prepare beforehand and you must get ready for your bar exam marathon.

Mentally, you must get yourself comfortable with the idea that you will work every day and that, with proper preparation, you will pass the examination. Winners know the value of preparation. The philosopher, Confucius, once said that “success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation, there is sure to be failure.”

Muhammad Ali, the champion boxer, said that “I hated every minute of the training, but I said, “Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.”

February 2015 will be your championship moment, don’t let yourself down.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: Working Through Your Study Plan

Sign up for our MBE Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar in Miami on January 24th and 25th at www.barprofessors.com.

This is a good time of the year to remind you about your study plan. A study plan is imperative to pass a bar exam, whether you are taking it for the first time or you are a repeat bar taker. Make sure you have that study plan in place until the bar exam, which is 7 weeks away.

In order to pass the bar, you need two things: time-management and discipline. Sticking to a study plan will conquer both requirements. Thorough preparation is the key to passing the exam and having a plan in place will allow you to manage your time and using your discipline to stick to the study schedule.

You should first start with relearning and reviewing the outlines with some practice questions thrown in and as you pick up the pace, you’ll reverse it and do more practice questions and essays and only use your outlines for clarification on questions you get wrong or confused about.

Don’t ignore your weak areas or your strong areas. You may not need to schedule as much time in your stronger subjects, but review them as consistently as you do all the other subjects. You may not need to read or reread the outlines of your strong subjects, but during those time periods, practice your questions. You may need those extra points on the bar. For your weaker subjects, do not ignore those subjects. All bar examinees have weak subjects. Spend time on those subjects as you would other subjects and just keep practicing.

Good luck in your studying.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: Do You Know Where Your Bar Exam Books Are?

Sign up for our Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar for Federal Civil Procedure in Miami and in Naples, Florida at www.barprofessors.com.

It is the first week of January 2015 and it’s time for you to start studying for the February 2015 Bar Exam now. There are 7 weeks left to the start of the bar. In 7 weeks you will be sitting for the first day of the bar exam – and, as you know, the first day is the state portion of the bar which consists of essays, short answers, multiple choice or performance tests.

There is no longer any excuse to procrastinate – the bar exam is right around the corner and, if you have not picked up your books, grab them now and devote the next 7 weeks to passing the bar exam and becoming a practicing lawyer.

In order to pass the bar, you need two things: time-management and discipline. Sticking to a study plan will conquer both requirements. Thorough preparation is one of the keys to passing the exam and having a plan in place will allow you to manage your time and using your discipline to stick to the study schedule.

In the beginning, you are going to struggle with the voluminous materials, but keep at it and keep pushing the pace. It’s like training for a race. You first have to struggle through the repetition until it starts feeling right and you start performing at your optimal level.

If this is your second or multiple time taking the bar, get a bar tutor now. Don’t fool around hoping you’ll do better the next time. Hire a Bar Professors’ bar tutor and pass the bar.
