In prior blogs, we discussed the new tested subjects on the Florida bar exam effective February 2013. For the February 2013 bar exam, I had my students in Florida review the new subjects on the bar exam. We went over secured transactions, commercial paper, dependency and juvenile delinquency. Yet, none of those subjects were tested on the bar exam (although dependency may have been a small issue in the family law essay). Why not? The Florida Bar Examiners made a big production of changing the rules and letting everyone know that the changes would be effective for the February 2013 bar exam. I remember getting the drafts of the new changes, 4 or 5 years ago. Are they waiting for the “larger” bar exam crowd in July to launch the new subjects or will that be a bust, too? Will the new subject essays be a stand alone or will it be part of a cross over subject?
The main concern for the students I talked to was Article 3 and Article 9 of the UCC. Unfortunately, many students did not take the two subjects during law school and must learn it anew. Additionally, the repeat bar taker did not learn the subject through their bar review course and are now facing the prospect that they will have to learn the two subjects, along with prepping to take the Florida bar exam again.
We will discuss the subjects in more depth at a later date, but if you can’t answer these questions, then you will have to take time to learn the subject matter.
For Article 3 ask yourself: What is a negotiable instrument? What are the types of negotiable instruments? What are the requirements of the instrument? What are the demands for payment and to whom?
For Article 9, What is the scope of Article 9? How do you create a secured interest? What is an attachment? How do you perfect the attachment? Who gets priority?
