A Short and Happy Guide to Civil Procedure

DOWNLOAD NOW »

Of the first-year subjects, Civil Procedure is the most foreign to students' experience. This book unlocks Civil Procedure by explaining doctrine and rules and placing them in context - explaining the role of each and how each doctrine relates to the others. It includes a chapter on how law school differs from college and what that means for class- and exam-preparation. It provides concrete analytical frameworks for resolving exam questions. And throughout, scores of examples allow you to apply the law to fact patterns.

Students become more engaged in the course by thorough explanations that demystify the material without oversimplifying it. They come to understand not only the rules, but also what makes them interesting and important. Features to enhance learning are prominent throughout. Overviews position chapter topics within the course and show why each matters. FAQs are carefully spelled out and given straightforward answers to clear up the most common mistakes and misconceptions. Sidebars offer study tips, practice pointers, and additional insights. Replicating the classroom use of whiteboards, PowerPoint and other visual aids, graphics, charts, photos, and cartoons help illustrate the concepts. Chapter summaries and bolded key terms facilitate studying and review, and "Connections" at the end of each chapter tie the material to other chapters, encouraging students to consider "Where have I been?" and "Where am I going?" The Second Edition updates rules and statutes to reflect amendments since 2009, featuring new rules on summary judgment and attorney-client privilege. Coverage of recent, important cases include those on personal jurisdiction, subject matter jurisdiction, class actions, and more. Refreshed tables, illustrations, and analyses lend more clarity and consistency.

The Ultimate Guide to the UBE (Uniform Bar Exam)

DOWNLOAD NOW »

The Ultimate Guide to the UBE (Uniform Bar Exam) is your “one stop shop” for all things UBE (Uniform Bar Exam). Now administered in over 35 jurisdictions, bar exam takers don’t want to just pass – they want to excel and obtain the highest score possible so they have their choice of UBE jurisdictions. This Guide covers it all - from the basics of what is tested on the UBE, to the best ways to personalize your bar exam study, to the most important of all – how to maximize your score on each of the three sections of the UBE. With over 40 years of combined experience in preparing students to pass the bar exam, Tania Shah, Melissa Hale, and Antonia (Toni) Miceli bring their expertise in the bar exam field directly to you and use actual bar exam answers from real bar examinees to show you exactly what you need to do to pick up points on the UBE! Key features: Whether you are in a new UBE jurisdiction, or one of the original UBE jurisdictions, this guide provides you with a detailed approach to the UBE, combining the authors’ expertise in bar exam preparation with access to actual bar exam answers from real bar examinees that were written during past bar exams and graded by actual bar exam graders. The Ultimate Guide to the UBE shows readers what an actual bar exam answer looks like, rather than just telling them what the “perfect,” and mostly impossible, essay answer looks like. The material in this book appeals to readers with its straightforward approach, providing outlines, charts, easily digestible content, and good humor to engage readers with what could seem to be overwhelming and dry content. The Ultimate Guide to the UBE is organized and broken down into four sections: First, the Guide introduces the reader to the UBE, including what is tested on the UBE, how it is tested, and how it is scored, before guiding readers into their bar exam study, with tips on memory, time management, and scheduling. Next, the Guide introduces the reader to the Multistate Essay Exam (MEE), which is the essay component of the UBE. After breaking down how to prepare for the MEE, and how to structure an MEE answer, the Guide uses actual MEE questions and actual bar exam answers to take the reader, step by step, through maximizing your MEE score. Readers are given the chance to “be the grader” and learn how to self-assess their own answers to improve their MEE score. The Guide repeats this same process with the Multistate Performance Test (MPT), which is the closed-universe skills portion of the UBE. The Guide next tackles the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE), which is the multiple choice section of the UBE. The Guide focuses on each of the seven MBE subjects in independent chapters, where readers are guided through how to best attack MBE questions in that subject area, which include very detailed answer explanations and strategy pointers. Finally, the Guide provides readers with all of the law needed to answer the actual UBE questions presented in the Guide, including quick reference handouts and charts.

The Ultimate Guide to the UBE (Uniform Bar Exam) Redesigned

Addressing the relative newness of the UBE, The Ultimate Guide to the UBE provides a detailed approach to the exam, utilizes real students’ past bar exam answers (including real bar exam scores), and includes commentary from expert contributors for added insight and perspective on how students can improve their own exam writing scores. In the past decade the UBE has gone from being adopted by merely a few jurisdictions to over 40, including Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, and Texas, and soon Pennsylvania in July of 2022. This encompasses a large percentage of students taking the Bar Exam. It also means that many students, as well as bar prep professionals, have questions about the UBE. We seek to provide one guide that addresses everything anyone would want to know about the UBE, most importantly, how to prepare for it. Melissa Hale, and Antonia (Toni) Miceli, and Tania Shah are experts in bar exam preparation, each having taught in the field for over a decade. As the UBE becomes more prevalent, we encounter more and more people with questions about how the UBE works and how best to prepare for each section of the UBE. This book is intended to be a “one-stop shop” for all things UBE! Professors and students will benefit from: Addressing the relative newness of the UBE, this guide provides a step-by-step process for tackling each section of the exam, utilizing real students’ past bar exam answers (including real bar exam scores), and employing expert contributors’ commentary for added perspective. The straightforward approach of this book appeals to students, and includes: outlines, charts, easily digestible content, and good humor to engage students in material that might otherwise seem dry or overwhelming. Above all, students want to see what an actual exam answer looks like, not just be told how to write the “perfect” (and mostly impossible) essay answer. In the Ultimate Guide to the UBE, students can see what real bar exam takers did under timed conditions. They can read expert commentary on real bar exam answers, and step into the shoes of a bar exam grader by critiquing real bar exam answers themselves. Students can see, firsthand, what separates a score of 1 from a score of 3 from a score of 6 out of 6, and learn how to push their own score up the grading scale. Memorizing rules separate from the essay-writing process is not a winning strategy; practicing writing an essay while looking up the rules enables students to hone their analysis skills and learn the rules. The online appendices provide all the substantive law students need to complete the questions in this book, allowing students to focus on the skill development piece of bar review, rather than guessing the applicable rule.
