November 27, 2018 By Bar Exam Toolbox Leave a Comment

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox Podcast. Today we’re walking through a California bar exam question on professional responsibility and evidence. This is the first in our series of podcasts on how to approach California bar exam essay questions.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Why it is so important that California bar studiers practice planning essay answers
  • Why you need to make sure your bar study materials are up to date on the law
  • The importance of knowing professional responsibility backwards and forwards – it’s not just for the MPRE!
  • Why there are rarely insignificant facts in California bar exam questions; and how to use that to your advantage while planning your answer
  • How to practice watching the clock and staying on track during each essay question
