GA July 2017 BAR EXAM TAKERS
Hello all,
I was just wondering if anyone taking the GA bar knows what essay topics are being predicted?

Checking in too. Not using a bar-prep program - does anyone have a recommendation for state-law materials?

Finally got my C&F certification at least. So I guess I really have to take this thing.

A combination of saving money and not having the time to sit through Barbri lectures again (graduated in 15 and am barred elsewhere).TheSpanishMain wrote:Finally got my C&F certification at least. So I guess I really have to take this thing.

For the benefit of any GA lurkers, I ended up buying a couple state-law books on Amazon from Celebration Bar Prep. Will let y'all know my thoughts.
We must've been in the same C&F batch. Got mine too - now we get the privilege of shelling out another $600ish for the bar and a laptop fee. Ugh.

It looks like Commercial Paper and Secured Transactions haven't been tested on the essays in like 10 years. So probably not those, right?

Looks like Torts, Evidence, Civ Pro, and Wills.happyhour1122 wrote:errrr....i think it was on last febTheSpanishMain wrote:It looks like Commercial Paper and Secured Transactions haven't been tested on the essays in like 10 years.

CP was part of a Contracts question on Feb. 2015. That's the only time it's been tested in ages. ST hasn't been tested since 2010. But if you are worried, check out Tanicius' guides (stickied). The Secured one in particular is very helpful.happyhour1122 wrote:TheSpanishMain wrote:I mean, don't take my word as Gospel.

Re: GA July 2017 BAR EXAM TAKERS
I'm starting to think about the July 2018 GA Bar. Is there a reason I shouldn't use Themis over Barbri for the GA exam? (Cost isn't a factor.)
