February 2012 Bar Exam Analysis (DC VA NY)

And with the leap year behind us, so is the February 2012 Bar exam behind us.  Let’s take a quick look at how the exams went.

First, let’s start with DC (and also touch on New York):

Essays – The MEE selection for DC was fair and straightforward, with 2 MBE subjects (contracts and evidence) and 4 MEE subjects (Corporations, Fed Civ Pro (conflicts crossover), Partnership, and Wills).

Performance tests – The MPTs for DC were not as great.  We had one Objective letter to a client, which was totally straightforward, and one never before seen “leave behind letter” that was persuasive.  Up in NY, they decided to pick the leave behind letter (joy). Nevertheless, as with all MPTs, practice makes perfect and even though the leave behind was an unknown, after looking over it, it became clear what they were asking for and was manageable.

Speaking of NY, the essays there were a nice selection.
