The Bar Exam is Finished. It feels damn good.
As far as the test itself, there were points that I thought that were easy (The IEE, The MPT, and the Morning MBE). There were points that I thought that were hard (The afternoon portion of the MBE). As far as I did, all I know is that it was long and tiring.
A few specific happenings:
- Supposedly, this was the first time in 15 years that there was no Wills or Trusts Question on the Essay Examination
- I wonder if Conviser is worrying that BarBri will be adversely affected if all you need to know is Corporations, Contracts, and Torts for the Illinois Bar Exam
- He should.
- The first Rule Against Perpetuities Question was on the MBE was #82
- And I swear that there was a Wills question on the MBE
- And a Secured Transactions one too
- A guy two seats to my left brought an electronic clock that went off with five minutes left in the Illinois Essay Examination.
- According to the proctor, the matter was referred to a 'Supervisor'
- He spent the entire time during the the MPT thinking that he was going to be asked to leave during the lunch break
- He was not sent home.
- But several of us thought he should have been for being so damn stupid
- The amount of scary looking people outweighed the number of normal looking people
- The proctor told us a story about how she taught an ESL class in a cemetary.
- She went on to say that her class got trapped in the cemetary
- I had great faith in her ability to lead a class
- Not.
- The first new person I met at the Bar Exam site gave me great inspiration to succeed on the test
- She had graduated law school a year earlier and passed the bar in another state.
- Yet she couldn't find a job
- And so, she has spent the last year working at Starbucks
