Podcast Episode 28: Balancing Law and Analysis on a Bar Exam Essay

January 8, 2019 By Bar Exam Toolbox Leave a Comment

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox Podcast. Today, we’re discussing how to balance the law and your analysis on a bar exam essay, and why the ratio of law to analysis may be very different than you think!

In this episode we discuss:

  • Why memorizing the law is important, but not enough to pass the bar exam
  • How much law you really need to know for the bar exam
  • How to balance law and analysis, and what the ideal ratio is for a good essay
  • What you do need to memorize, and how to use it effectively
  • What to do when you just don’t know the law
  • Resources to help you learn the law you need to learn

Thanks for listening!
