Episode description
Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today we are walking through a California bar exam question on corporations. This is one of our series of podcasts on how to approach California bar exam questions.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why memorizing concise, effective rule statements and attack plans is key to writing passing essays
- What should (and should not) be included in rule statements in a California bar essay
- How to use overarching rules to frame your answer, and how to incorporate the sub-rules effectively in your analysis
- Why every fact in a bar exam essay question matters, especially in shorter hypotheticals
- How to save time by referencing earlier rule statements when issues overlap
