Barbri paced program question? Forum

[Stringer6]

I'm getting in the 70s on my graded essays. Does anyone know what the means in terms of "passing" for the bar exam?

50 is the target

So guys... I need some advice. I have been fooling around with job stuff a bit too much since I have been getting interviews. I am behind on bar prep, and I am getting destroyed on MBE questions. I feel as if I have nothing memorized because I narrow it down to 2 answers and pick the wrong one always. I am on schedule as far as watching the lectures goes, but very very behind at looking at the essays and slightly behind on MBE question sets. I am not taking the exam in NY or CA. Is there still hope for me?

All of this job stuff has been making it incredibly hard for me to focus. I can't focus for the life of me on this crap. I need to find a way to buckle down and put in a good 6-8 hours a day.

You wont get a job without passing the bar, so put the job search on hold if it is interfering with bar prep. You got this, and the exam is still another month away.

On a unrelated note, fuck conflict of laws.

A Landlord is generally not liable for the acts of other tenants. There are two exceptions--L must not permit a nuisance on site is one. What's the other? I must have missed it the first time through, and as riveting as the property lectures are I'd rather not watch again...

common areas (hallways, stairs) -- reasonable care

Thank you.

i'm confused now... The landlord has a general duty to exercise reasonable care w/ respect to common areas but what does that have to do with the landlord's liability w respect to other tenants' conduct? Isn't that what the OP is asking about?

[jd20132013]

yeah that's what i'm asking about.

the other tenants could create the dangerous condition in the common area and the landlord would be liable.

Yeah our lectures are different. I'm in CA. Either way it leads to the correct conclusion. I was just confused bc it wasn't in my cmr or notes. Thanks for checking.

Keep forgetting MBE lecturers arent same for everyone. I had Franseze.

Me too

[jd20132013]

just to be totally clear then, my question came from p 43 of the handout, right above "3) The Implied warranty of habitability"

your answer sounds right but just wanted to be sure.

i think our lectures are different. i'm in NY. my number 3 on page 43 says "T's duty to pay rent"

i think Franseze lectured in multiple locations. like you said, i think it's still the right answer (nuisance and common areas); that rule is not NY-specific.

Does P need to be in the Zone of Danger for NIED? Barbri MBE question said no, but Critical Pass torts flashcards say yes. Can anyone clarify? I have the same question for bystander cases too.

Zone of danger is for NIED upon the plaintiff based on a fear of harm befalling the plaintiff.

If you're outside the zone, you can recover for the harm befalling loved ones. 1) closely related, 2) plaintiff was present, 3) plaintiff personally perceived event.

Thanks. I think in NY P needs to be in ZOD for bystander cases too.

Correct.

[jd20132013]

Are you guys taking the full time to draft out the essays? I never remember anything but the broadest strokes and generally make up something that sounds good, which takes like half the allotted time.

Do you think it's like that on the real exam too?
