Quoting Scale_2004 Quote:
With reference to CA Civ Pro: I got a tip from a bar tutor and I
believe it is a good one.
Look at the Federal Civ Pro essays and see what they really like to
test in that subject.
Then within those areas, determine if there is a CA distinction.
Remember, this is an essay and the way they dream up these essays--
is they will test us on "testable issues"--meaning ones that have
something to write about, ones where the graders will be able to
determine if we got what they were looking for... and an issue with
some substance to it.
Example: I have posted this before. But think of this one. The
Bar examiners really like the Fed Civ Pro issue of Res Judicata and
Collateral Estoppel.
Big Distinction in CA Civ Pro---CA can split claims if there are
separate and distinct causes of action found. Feds (arising out of
the same transaction and occurrence)
