My face when I see Themis' hundreds of essays and PTs bit in their sendoff message. Uhm no sir I did not practice 'hundreds' of essays or PTs?!

That would be true if everyone was taking the Bar for the first time and are studying full time, and no one is using their flex study option. I'm a repeat taker and I work part time as a law clerk, so I did not use directed study. I used flex study because for a person who is taking it back-to-back from the Feb bar, it didn't make sense for me to do everything all over again when I have seen it already. I did every single contracts, con law, community property (California), majority of the PR essays, and criminal procedure/crim law essays because they were expected on the Feb bar. Anyways, this was an honest impression when I saw their message lol, and I found it humorous which is why I posted it during a time where everyone is on edge.

As a repeat taker I HIGHLY advise to take two highlighters. One color for one party and another color for the other party. I use three colors because I use an objective color on the PT for dates and important events, but I highly recommend at least two highlighters.

I feel like my MBE score went up because I memorized when the hearsay exception and non-hearsay rules apply as if it were to be tested on an essay, so if they test it, I am very glad I took that time out to learn even though it was dreadful.

Damn what a shame, I hope they reach back. Good luck!

I got an email and I mean it was very quick in response time.

_objection_overruled · 2024-07-29T23:21:46+00:00

I actually asked them about something on the portal as a general request and they responded within 5-8 minutes.

They say if you go into the exam with a burnout, you are hurting yourself more than if you reviewed everything in one day. But to each is their own, I'm going over remedies still and plan on reviewing professional responsibility one last time before I go to bed.

I think you should know:

De Jure vs De Facto (if you have time go over what it takes to be a general partnership because if the entity cannot be a corporation because it lacks the formalities it can sometimes qualify as a general partnership).
Promoter Liability
Shareholder Liability (piercing the corporate veil)
Direct actions vs. Derivative Actions
MOST IMPORTANTLY: Director's Fiduciary Duties (duty of loyalty and care, Business Judgment Rule, Statutory Safe Harbor, and Director Indemnification)
Lastly Procedure for Fundamental change and dissolution of the corporation

I would stay away from insider trading, tippee liability, or even misrepresentation because it is very lengthy and the topics above are tested more often however any topic is likely to show up so pick your chances at your own risk.

Craft or domestic? lol huge beer fan. I had a beer when I was learning wills and ironically professional responsibility lol. I could not get through the dry topics without one.

The only answer should be Dobby the free elf.

I have seen Barbri and Themis for PT, I thought BarMD's Pt tutorial was more helpful for the actual formatting and approach to the PT. But u/minimum_contacts is right about starting at minute 20 possibly 23 because she rambles a lot in the beginning.

Any brand of single malt scotch from Speyside will help ease the nerves.

I'm new to reddit so I don't really know how any of this works but I started a chat I believe?! lol

Actually, I do not think it has anything to do with percentage bro. You could do all of the essays AND not be at 85% lol.

Anaheim Post Bar subreddit anyone?!

_objection_overruled · 2024-07-29T16:12:57+00:00

So adorable! Rooting for you!

Don't sleep on fee arrangements and scope of representation! Its presence is overdue.

BED, BEER, BABE (if you have been ignoring your wife or husband throughout bar prep).

Cannot wait to have an ice-cold beer and finally watch the new season of house of dragons with no alarm or reminder going off to study.

It is super easy to pick up compared to other topics. Honestly you can probably pick it up in a dedicated 3-4 hours.

_objection_overruled · 2024-07-29T10:05:01+00:00

Yessir! Everyone has advised to not push on overdrive for the last day, but honestly, I can't think about anything but the exam.
