Podcast Episode 62: February 2018 MPT – Going Through the File and Library

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! This episode is part of our series on how to approach questions on the UBE. Today, we are walking through the file and library on the February 2018 Multistate Performance Test. Next time, we’ll discuss drafting an answer to this performance test.

In this episode we discuss:

• A reminder to read the instructions and memo on the performance test carefully before you move on
• What documents and facts are included in the file
• The legal research contained in the library and how to make use of it
• How to segment your time while writing the performance test
• A detailed walk-through of the task memo, file, and library on the February 2018 MPT
• The black-letter law on what constitutes an office of emolument, and holding more than one civil office at the same time
