The second essay was torts and ethics. Issues included misrepresentation, stict products liability, negligence, and res ipsa loquitur. If I remember correctly, it was also important to note the status of the plaintiffs in terms of invitee/licensee status. There was also an issue involving two co-plaintiffs and the representation of each or both in a civil suit.

The third essay was trusts. It involved the basic elements of a trust and whether certain pieces of the trust res were valid. Also included was an issue involving the named beneficiary on a life insurance policy.

Multiple choice was business entities, evidence, and procedure.

The essay questions will likely be posted on the bar exam webpage soon if they aren't already there.
