Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! This episode is part of the series in which we demystify the shift from MBE to NextGen multiple-choice questions. Today Lee walks through four questions on civil procedure — two in classic MBE style and two in the NextGen format. Wondering how to keep straight two doctrines that sound alike: personal jurisdiction and subject matter jurisdiction? Find out in this episode!
In this episode we discuss:
- Question 1: Personal jurisdiction (MBE)
- Question 2: Subject matter jurisdiction (MBE)
- Question 3: Subject matter jurisdiction (NextGen)
- Question 4: Issue-spotting (NextGen)
- Study tips for multiple-choice questions
