Does anyone have any helpful exam materials (e.g., flow charts, outlines) for Bankruptcy? I feel like I know nothing about the subject after an entire semester. Since the exam is open book/materials, I'm trying to focus more on studying for other courses. Protip: Do not take a course such as Bankruptcy solely because it filled a gap in your schedule.

My last law school exam ever is in 11.5 hours and I only really started looking over the material this afternoon. What better way to end it all than one final all-nighter?

Here's another C&F question - would an apartment lease application somehow fall within the purview of the background check? When I filled out my lease application, I had a part-time law clerk position and was receiving money from my parents for living expenses. I added these two numbers together and wrote that on the application. Should I be concerned about this?

Wow, the guy doing the BarBri multistate preview for crim law is so loving annoying... I'm having trouble seeing the benefit of going to the classes as opposed to watching online. Thoughts?

BarBri needs more lecturers like the torts professor. 4 hours with him today was actually bearable.

Has anyone used any of the commercial MBE flashcards? Namely Dominate the Bar... I'd like to save some time by not writing out hundreds upon hundreds of cards and use that time for actual reviewing.

prussian advisor posted:Assuming you're talking about the BarBri ones, does this send anyone else into a boiling rage? Specifically, I'm talking about horribly worded answers to the multiple-choice questions, where you know the answer is "because it's res ipsa loquitur," for example, but the right MC answer is "plaintiff recovers, because the limb-eating elevator can only be activated from the first floor." I just took the 100 question half-day exam in the step 5 book, and so many of the questions were just like this. You know the answer, yet it's not present in any discernible form. Here's to hoping BarBri's claim that their questions are "statistically more difficult" than the actual MBE proves to be true.

prussian advisor posted:Is anyone else taking a bar exam that has state multiple-choice questions? Or is it just Florida? Some of those FL MC questions today were really, really bad. The first essay was a piece of poo poo too. On the other hand, the other two were so straightforward it surprised me.

My table had an uneven leg and the girl next to me was erasing every other answer today and the table was shaking like mad.

prussian advisor posted:Nah man, she was just rubbing her arms against the table to collect all the complimentary wood. I had heard from my dad (who took the FL bar in 1992) about the size of that room. I never really thought much of it until I walked in on the first day. I sat somewhere in the middle, seat number 018xx, and I could almost hardly see either wall on each end. It really was amazing. Edit: I heard there were about 3,000 people taking the exam.

Surprisingly, the hivemind of xoxohth has made me feel better about the MBE. I'm positive I got most of the questions they discussed correct. Now to go get so drunk I'll forget what I did over the last 2 days!

Things I saw at the bar exam: - A guy wearing a checkered bow tie and snakeskin boots. - Several guys wearing suits and ties. Most of them looked like they'd also wear a fedora if hats were allowed. - Many, many shirts made specifically for the bar exam. - A girl in line frantically reading ~20 pages of handwritten notes all the way up to the metal detectors then pausing before she walked through so she could finish a sentence. The guards urged her through and she then defeatedly threw all the notes away. - A guy sitting diagonal across an aisle from me getting up about 5 times per 3 hour session. - A quite heavy-handed girl in front of me repeatedly signaling proctors for new pencils throughout the entire MBE.

Hahahaha. We were only given 2 sharpened but obviously used pencils. The eraser on one of mine looked like it'd been chewed on at the February exam.

prussian advisor posted:Do you know what you're doing for work in FL btw, Lee? My dad's a solo, doing mostly real estate and probate work, but he also does trusts, incorporations, etc. I've been working alongside him on and off since I was 13. The natural progression of things has landed me a spot in his practice. I have several good friends who are realtors, so I plan to bring in some closings through them initially, and I'd like to also expand into a new practice area, but I haven't really determined which.

prussian advisor posted:That's cool, you have the one background where it unambiguously makes sense to go to law school. How have the last 6 years or so impacted his practice? I certainly know that the local attorneys who do lots of real estate work complain about it endlessly, although obviously I'm not in a position to determine how much those complaints are justified. When the bubble initially burst, that part of the business took a little hit for a while. Since then, it has either maintained or increased year-to-year. Where I live in south FL, there's an abundance of money being spent freely and those with it haven't really been affected by any of the nationwide economic issues.

nm posted:Please tell me this means t-shirts with "Bar Exam Shirt" or the like stenciled on them. Because if there are custom bar exam shirts, I'm kind of pissed I didn't invent them. Notably, Barry University students wearing some kind of shirt about when in doubt, pick B.

Speaking of bar shirts, I was thinking about what would have to be on your shirt in order to be denied admission to the exam. For example, what if you had a shirt that was just covered in things like MYLEGS and BARRK in some decorative script?

Anyone else taking the MPRE tomorrow? I managed to fail the first time by a few points by not doing any prep whatsoever and being so hung over during the exam, I left after an hour. Watched the BarBri lecture, went over the handout a few times, and did a few practice exams today. I'm going to be golden.
