Day 19: Contracts III (5.5 days behind)

  • Scheduled: June 18
  • Actual: June 25
  • Subject: Contracts III

Only one more multistate bar exam (MBE) subject left to go: Torts.  Theoretically, if I can do very well on these six subjects and ok on the rest, I will pass.  At least I know these subjects will be ON the bar.  The rest it's an educated guess.

PR tomorrow and hopefully I can start Torts as well.  We'll see.

I'm getting a bit sick of trying to catch up.  Ugh.

Day 17: Contracts I (6 days behind)

  • Scheduled: June 16
  • Actual: June 22
  • Subject: Contracts I

I'm stunned at how much of this I remember from law school.  I think my first-year contracts professor must have done an excellent job.  I honestly feel like I could take this section of the bar right now. 

So that makes one section. ;)

Day 16: Evidence III (6 days behind)

  • Scheduled: June 13
  • Actual: June 21
  • Subject: Evidence III

Not a big fan of hearsay.  It's confusing.  That is all.

Day 15: Evidence II (6 days behind)

  • Scheduled: June 12
  • Actual: June 20
  • Subject: Evidence II

I don't think I like Simons quite as much for evidence, but evidence is just more boring.  He's definitely not bad, but it just feels like rule after rule after rule.

Day 14: Evidence I (6 days behind)

  • Scheduled: June 11
  • Actual: June 19
  • Subject: Evidence I

I'm kind of excited to get back to a lecturer I know I like.  Or at least I liked his criminal law lecture.  I wasn't a huge fan of evidence in law school, so we'll see if Simons can do anything with it in BarBri land.

Day 13: Constitutional Law II (6 days behind)

  • Scheduled: June 10
  • Actual: June 18
  • Subject: Con Law II

Going over Con Law stuff reminded me of something I had forgotten.  Con Law has some coherent principles, but not many and is riddled with exceptions.  A lot of times it just seems to be who is on the court matters more than what the Constitution says.

Day 12: Constitutional Law I (6 days behind)

  • Scheduled: June 9
  • Actual: June 17
  • Subject: Con Law I

I like Con Law, but this is the more boring, structural half.  This half is interesting when there is discussion and debate, but as a black letter law subject, it's not too hot.  It's fairly straightforward and I've found that I remember almost all of it already. 

Day 11: Agency & Partnership (6 days behind)

  • Scheduled: June 6
  • Actual: June 16
  • Subject: Agency & Partnership

Again, this post got up late.  Apologies to all my loyal readers. 

The topic was pretty straightforward, but the lecturer drove me crazy.  It made me want to go back to Property!

Day 10: Property III (6 days behind)

  • Scheduled: June 5
  • Actual: June 14
  • Subject: Property III

This post got up a bit late, but I loved the Property lecturer.  She was about as good as I can imagine a BarBri lecturer being.  I might even remember something about Property law as a result!
