The July 2016 Bar Exam: Sound Like a Lawyer When You Write

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 July 2016 Bar Exam: The MBE

We have talked with many students this bar exam cycle about their MBE scores. Many students I talked with failed the MBE while passing the state portion of their bar exam. The MBE is always difficult because you have to get the right answer or you get no points. Across the board, whether you are from Harvard or from a third tier school, contracts and property are usually one and two for the hardest subjects of the six – and where most students have the most difficult. Torts is ranked as the easiest subject in terms of how many questions students get right nationally.  Civil Procedure looked to be the hardest subject this time around – in light of the overall MBE’s lowest averages in years.

For those who failed the MBE exam, evaluate your scores carefully. Unfortunately, the NCBE no longer give you the raw scores. There are two main problems you face if your scores are low: your analytical skills are not up to par or you have black letter law weakness. Which do you have?

As the July 2016 bar comes closer, we will discuss strategies and tactics for the MBE.

Learn Your Bar Exam

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 July 2016.

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 July 2016 Bar Exam: Preparation, Success and Training

We will begin the process of discussing important topics to get you ready for the July 2016 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 July 2016 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.”

July 2016 will be your championship moment, don’t let yourself down. Prepare to study and prepare to pass the bar exam in July.

The July 2016 Bar Exam: Make A Schedule and Stick to It

In order to pass the bar exam in July 2016, 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 July 2016. 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 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 large amount of materials, but keep at it and keep pushing yourself. It’s like training for a race. You first have to struggle through the materials until it starts feeling right, then you will be clicking on all cylinders.
