Post: November 2005 MPRE

Posted by JoeStanley on 11/04/05

I just took the MPRE, and I thought it was really
difficult. I've passed three bar exams on the first try
(NY, NJ & CT), but this last MPRE leaves me wondering if
I'll have to take it again. I've been practicing for 13
years in NY & NJ and took the July exam for Connecticut. I
studied for the MPRE and thought I knew the rules, but the
questions were all subtle gradations with a close choice
between two answers. I just want to rant a little: The
people who put this exam together are jerks. In the real
world you only have to know the basic rules, because if you
are faced with an ambiguous situation, you look up the
actual rule or call the jurisdictions' ethics hotline and
get an opinion. So they ought to be testing the basic rules
with straight forward fact patterns. This exam was full of
BS and if I flunked I'm gonna complain (as if it would do
any good). Anyway, that's my rant. Thanks for
listening. --Joe.
