Looking at notes/outlines for tomorrow's essays. BRAIN HURTS. NOTHING IS WORKING. WHY IS THIS THREE DAYS.

Was not manifest necessity the correct response-seriously been bothering me all day.

It was shitty, because it also had a good faith option. If the judge had called a mistrial via bad faith, double jeopardy would have also attached.

Yeah-how can the P justify the retrial if the judge decided to stop bc of his wife? Though it seems unfair for the P to be subjected to the whims of a judge who abuses his discretion or am i skimming this wrong?

Are you saying that was done in good faith? What's the right answer-it def didn't seem good faith like to me-i remember another fact in there that made the judge look bad i forget...

yea, i'm pretty sure manifest necessity was the answer they were looking for, but what a terrible question.

I picked it was okay because it was good faith. Jeopardy attaches when like the prosecutor or judge calls or prompts a mistrial because they are worried the jury is going against them, or to delay so a witness is not available, etc.

But in hindsight, it could have been the vanilla manifest necessity choice. Oh well. Pretty shitty. Maybe it will be one that is scaled away.

Ok, just thought of something that might be stupid. "Heirs and assigns," language in a grant, how does that affect an easement, if at all?

Agree x1000. I am telling myself it would not help to study tonight, and what was in my brain Tuesday is what's still in my brain now, and I just have to go with that.

But, honestly, I kind of don't believe myself, and think tomorrow morning, I'll be staring at the page like it's written in Klingon.

How likely does everybody think it is that Real Property won't be an essay because we had a Real Property based PT?

Do not bet the farm on it.

I might go so far as to say it will not include land use. Maybe?

Those are not civ pro questions they are evidence questions

You sure? I recognized plenty of questions that seemed like Civ Pro but were really Evidence. But I could have sworn I had a pure Civ Pro question. I can't remember what it is about anymore, though.

I might be wrong- i personally didn't get any civ pro questions but noticed on other threads that other people had different experimentals so that's prob what everyone is referring to.

Iam going to predict it will not be on it. I think crim, trusts, and civ pro will be the subjects. Torts was discuss a little I for q2 and q3 Tuesday. Trusts has not come up for a while and crim wasn't talked bout at all Tuesday other than insider trading maybe. But, you never know.

Ugh. If Civ Pro is on there tomorrow, I am DOOMED. Can't stand it. And I don't know it. Especially CA Civ Pro. BLAH!!

[dtl]

I have a feeling that a California Civ pro questions would bring the bar back to the 40-45% pass rate of years long past.

What about Community Property?

If you want a summary of past test subjects over the last few years, this is a pretty good one.

Community property is low probability........... but so was remedies.

CA civ pro isn't that bad-they'll prob test res judicata primary rights-not that bad…but i think since they only tested FRE then they might do CA CP or Community property-they at least have one CA subject besides PR, right?

The only time I've ever heard of Manifest Destiny was in regards to the 19th century belief of the right of American Expansion so I just assumed answer was ridiculous. Ooops.

People really should stop stressing out over if they missed something though. I know most people who end up passing the exam end up missing more than 1 or 10 or even 20 MBE Questions so it's not worth feeling stressed out about a few questions you got wrong. I mean one MBE question is literally .15% of your total score so who cares if you missed one question?

The pass rate really isn't that bad. It's around 70-75% for first-time bar takers. There's a lot of lee-way to miss a lot of things and still pass.

Manifest NECESSITY not destiny lol…I think it was on my critical pass card and that just prompted me to go for it esp since the rest of the choices seemed wrong.

Wow...my brain is not working. LOL. I literally thought that was what the answer option said. Skipped over that question pretty fast.

Anyone notice how they now they just tell us whether it's race notice v. just notice jurisdiction? They didn't do that on the OPE from July 2013 or their other recent OPEs. I recall barbri and emmanuel's teaching us how to decipher the language to be able to tell what type of recording statute it was and now they just give it to us

[chicoalto0649]

FHA anyone? Thought there was an exception there but stretching way back to 1L. Maybe it was experimental??
