In order to pass the bar exam in February 2015, you need two things: time-management and discipline. Planning ahead and sticking to a schedule will conquer both requirements. Thorough preparation is the key to passing the exam and having a schedule in place will allow you to manage your time and to stick to a study timetable. For a plan to work, you have to address your learning style as well as the substantive areas you will be tested on.
First make a calendar of the next 2 months – up to the bar exam date in February 2015. Set out a timetable of when and where you will study per day. Be sure your schedule is realistic. If you make it too onerous, you will not follow the schedule and you will put off studying. Be realistic with your goals and your study habits. For example, you can’t go throughout the entire day with no lunch or no exercise or take no breaks because you were unrealistic in the time aspect of your plan. You have to write a study plan that suits you and your personality without slacking off.
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.
For your 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, don’t spend too much time obsessing on your lack of knowledge or take away from other subjects you also need to study; and do not ignore your weak subjects. All bar examinees have weak subjects. Again, spend time on those subjects as you would other subjects and just keep practicing. You’ll be surprised at how much you really do know in those weak subjects.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: Include Your Family in Studying for the Bar Exam
Sign up for our Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar for Federal Civil Procedure in Miami and in Naples, Florida at www.barprofessors.com.
For those students who are taking the February 2015 bar exam, take a few days off to relax your mind and have quality time with those that love you. Take the time off with no guilt attached. You can get back to work full time after the holidays.
Those that really love you want to see you pass the bar. Know that with certainty. Those who are pulling and picking at you, saying you don’t have to study that long or want you to go to the clubs and parties are not your true friends and do not want you to be successful.
Sometimes those loved ones see you study and see your struggle and wish they could help you, but don’t know how. Bar applicants who have children find it hard to be both a parent and have a full time study plan. Don’t ignore them. Try to integrate them into your “experience”.
During these weeks of celebration for Hanukkah, Christmas and New Years’, look at those that are supporting you in ways you may not even realize. Maybe your mom makes you breakfast every morning before you leave to go study. Maybe your spouse is doing the heavy lifting as you study. Let them know you appreciate their support, even if they are just getting out of your way during this period before the bar exam.
No person is an island. You need your family and friends during this stressful period of bar exam studying. Have your family help you. They will be glad to help and they will be proud of the little part they played in your success. Give your family members or your children one of your study books and have them test you. This is particularly good for the elements of a cause of action. Have your family help you recite those causes of action. See if you can make a game out of it, with your children or family members each calling out an element of a cause of action.
You may be surprised on game day when you are calling up the exceptions to the hearsay rule and you remember the face of your loved ones yelling it out to you.
Have a terrific New Years’. Rest, relax and then get back to work. The February Bar Exam is right around the corner.

The February 2015 Bar Exam: Keep a Limited Study Schedule Through the Holidays
Sign up for our Small Group One Day Workshop/Seminar for Federal Civil Procedure in Miami and in Naples, Florida at www.barprofessors.com.
There is less than a day before Christmas Eve, our families are making plans for the holidays, we are doing our last minute shopping and making sure we have our travel plans in place for visiting. Yet, you have the February 2015 bar exam right around the corner.
This is not the time to do round-the-clock studying. You will not be able to keep up a schedule like that anyway and you shouldn’t have to do it during this time of the year. But there are batches of time you can take during these holidays so that you can keep up your schedule plan.
Don’t put the books away. If you are traveling by plane or by train, you certainly can read your outlines instead of playing games or watching movies on your computer or phone. If you are driving to your destination, get some tapes and play them as you drive instead of listening to music to pass the time. You can get an hour or two in for studying every day while you are enjoying the holidays. Think about getting up an hour early while everyone else is still asleep or go to bed an hour early and read your outlines in bed before you sleep.
Also think about taking a few days off completely from studying , i.e Christmas Day, New Years’ Eve– it will refresh your mind and make you eager to get back to work after those breaks.
These study techniques will keep you focused on the job ahead, but also allow you to take the remaining time off and relax with your family. You know that your family will do anything to help you achieve your goal, so let them fuss over you – you deserve it.

Once you have digested the question, please go to our facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/BarProfessors, and find the answer explanation. Here is the next question:
P is a citizen of Massachusetts, who works in Connecticut. D and E are citizens of New Jersey who work in that state. One day, D borrowed E’s car, advising E that he intended to use it to pick up his sister in Hartford. However, D drove to Massachusetts to take his new girlfriend to Boston. Unfortunately, D became involved in a traffic accident with P while driving in Massachusetts. P brought an action against E in the proper U.S. district court in Massachusetts for personal injuries and property damages in the amount of $80,000. A Massachusetts statute permits an action against the owner of a motor vehicle who has loaned the car to the person who was driving it when the incident occurred. E has filed a timely FRCP 12(b)(2) motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. How should the district court rule on that motion?
(A) The district court should grant the motion since, in the absence of additional facts, it appears that the exercise of jurisdiction would violated the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
(B) The district court should grant the motion since, in the absence of additional facts, it appears that the exercise of jurisdiction would violate the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.
(C) The district court should deny the motion under the standards of FRCP 4(k)(2), which permits the exercise of nationwide service of process in such cases.
(D) The district court should deny the motion since E caused an effect in Massachusetts.

B. Yes, because Plaintiff’s action arises under a U.S. statute.
C. Yes, because state courts, even those of general jurisdiction, do not have subject matter jurisdiction over federal claims.

Once you have digested the question, please go to our facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/BarProfessors, and find the answer explanation. Here is the next question:
Delivery’s truck driver, Matt, was killed when his vehicle collided with Sammy’s car. Sammy has filed a diversity action against Delivery in federal district court in New Mexico, seeking personal injury damages in the amount of $200,000. Sammy also joined Nexus Cars, the manufacturer of Sammy’s car, under a manufacturing defect theory, because Sammy’s brakes failed during the collision. Delivery’s truck was badly damaged in the accident, so Delivery filed a cross-claim against Nexus Cars. May Nexus Cars make a claim for contribution against Delivery in the same action?
A. No, contribution claims are premature until judgment in the underlying action. Thus, Nexus Cars cannot make a cross-claim against Delivery for contribution under Rule 13(g).
B. Yes, Delivery became an “opposing party” by claiming against Nexus Cars, making Nexus Cars’ contribution claims against Delivery a compulsory counterclaim.
C. Yes, Although Nexus Cars cannot make a counterclaim for contribution because its contribution claim is premature until judgment in the underlying action, Rule 13(g) expressly permits Nexus Cars to file a cross-claim against Delivery.
D. Yes, Nexus Cars can file a contribution claim against Delivery either as a counterclaim or a cross-claim because Nexus Cars’ contribution claim is mature.
