Feb 2013 DC Bar exam Essay day Analysis

The Feb 2013 DC Bar exam is over!  Congrats to everyone who took it, just for surviving.  This one was a little tougher than usual in some ways.  To start with, we had two persuasive MPTs, and neither was a memo.  Definitely not the best way to start the bar exam.  The good news is that the essays were MBE subject heavy which was a nice treat.  In fact, for the first time ever we had four out of six essay questions that were MBE subjects.  They were Property, Con law, Evidence and Contracts.  Speaking of predictions, getting 5 out of 6 ain’t all that bad so I was feeling pretty good. The other two questions were Agency and Fed Civ Pro.

For the MPTs, as I said, neither were memos.  One was a letter and one was a brief.  Both were persuasive, which for most people is a more difficult assignment.  Time was a major issue on these MPTs, and finishing both in 3 hours was more difficult than usual.

Now that it’s over, I’m going to relax and not think about anything bar exam related.  We’ve got a few months till the results come out.  I’ll post when I know more details about when to expect results.
