BarBri Bar Review Hangout - February 2016 Exam Forum

I felt like both were very difficult. It's not the subject matter, the questions and answers are sometimes very oddly phrased. I found myself narrowing down to two choices and picking one over the other.

So does anyone know what vindictive prosecution is?

[rinkrat19]

So does anyone know what vindictive prosecution is?

Prosecuter proceeding with a case to make someone miserable, not in good faith that there's a valid case.

So does anyone know what vindictive prosecution is?

Rule of thumb: whenever I see an answer choice that cites some weird legal term I've never heard, I eliminate it.

Morning of the MBE felt pretty rough to me. What say you all?

I thought the opposite. AM was fine for me, PM felt much harder

[jamescastle]

Overall: Easier than July.

For me: My PM was easier.
Guy next me said AM was easier.
Are they swapped alternating or is everyone's AM the same as everyone else's? Anyone know.

[Abbeymubby]

To me this was the hardest MBE. My afternoon was brutal

Agreed. PM was a killer today.

[THE_U]

Checking in.

My AM session wasn't bad, finished with good amount of time left (20-30 min)

PM session was much harder and only had like 5 min left. Felt like I was narrowing down a lot of them, but was still guessing on the remaining answer choices.

Overall, easier than July. Hopefully it translates into passing.

Same man. AM felt like the stuff I had been studying. PM felt way more foreign.

Hey guys. So can Congress require that the President cannot remove someone from an agency absent fed approval? I think I'm asking this correctly....

I sort of remember this question. I don't think Congress can limit a president's removal power. Only restriction is on confirmation.

I put what you said, but at first wasn't sure if it was congress that couldn't limit the pres or the pres who can't limit congress!

About the guy who missed a vessel because the tire of his car broke down due to some defect. Because of this he couldn't make the money he was expecting had he caught the vessel. He didn't suffer any physical injuries. He is now suing the wheel manufacturer for damages based on the lost income expectations. Strict liability?

From what I rem, I don't think strict prod liability covers purely economic loss, only injury to person or his property.

Hopefully that is right, because that is the answer choice I picked even though I was very tempted to pick a different answer choice.

I think that is the wrong answer because from what I remember, vindctive prosecution is so so very hard to prove in real life.

[MrMustache]

the PM session felt a LOT harder than AM. I had something like 30 questions I was pretty much guessing on because I couldn't decide between two answers, and in the AM session I think I had maybe 5.

Not that it means the answers I felt I knew the answer to were actually correct. Will be hoping for a nice curve, because I really need some extra points for my PT fuck-up.

[Abbeymubby]

About the vindictive prosecution, there was an answer choice that state lacked jurisdiction to try boyfriend for battery

[ReachTheBar79]

Yeah but the bf moved back home so I figured there would be at least general PJ. Idk. Missed that one.

So, the guy to the right and left of me in the morning were just tearing through the MBE's, but they both went much slower in the PM session. I think I went much faster in the PM session, but my AM session was the worst.

Yeah I was heading down that road of analysis, but then I remembered it was a criminal prosecution, not a civil case, so I think general jurisdiction doesn't count? So I said state has no jurisdiction to prosecute bf

I said the same because the other answers seemed incorrect to me, especially vindictive prosecution

Note to first time MBE takers: You are (Not) Prepared.

True

[Abbeymubby]

I selected the same answer too out of desperation because everything else didn't add up.

[jamescastle]

Note to first time MBE takers: You are (Not) Prepared.

True

That was a reference to Evangelion if anyone caught it btw.
