Issue: To
BarBri Or Not To
BarBri, That Is The Question?
[Assumed] Facts: Around 95% of CA applicants use
BarBri [BB]. Also, BB is correct at least 95% of the time.
Therefore, if
BarBri is CORRECT on a conflicting issue, and you do not go with
BarBri, you are dead meat (i.e., you look really dum-dum compared to 95% of the papers the grader is reading).
Likewise, if
BarBri is INCORRECT on a conflicting issue, and you do not go with
BarBri, you will look no less knowledgeable than 95% of your colleagues. In fact, by the time the grader gets to read your
paper, s/he will have read so many with the
BarBri-based analysis that s/he will probably already be convinced (unconsciously if not consciously) that it is the CORRECT answer.
Also, since
BarBri is almost always correct, not only are you are safest going with BB, but also it is a VERY poor use of your study time to go tracking down mini-mini-mini- sub-sub-factoids where BB and not-BB disagree (see supra).
Conclusion: Forget other rule-books. Stick with BB
