Book Description

Detailed explanatory answers to actual questions from the 1998-1999 multistate bar exam. Explains not only Why the right answer is right, but also Why the wrong answers are wrong and How to take the bar exam. The bar examination tests legal reasoning: NONE of the four choices might be correct! Likewise, more than one answer may be correct! The examinee must choose the BEST choice of the given choices! Failing to see that fact alone costs many students their "pass": Wrong answers are less exact, less accurate, or outright wrong, as compared to the correct answer which is most accurate of given choices or the most likely argument to be accepted by the court on existing law or a good faith argument thereon. In other words, the best answer is not necessarily correct! Furthermore, the least wrong answer is still ... best! These are the actual questions asked on the bar exam which were released by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBEX). The explanations are complete, and include vital test-taking tips for the bar exam! No copyright is claimed as to the questions: the explanations to the answers were authored by Dr. Eric Engle LL.M. (Fulbright). The NCBE released those questions and retains copyright over them. Use of these questions does not consitute an endorsement by the NCBE.YOU can pass the bar. It takes discipline, determination, and curiousity. It is not rocket science.
