Hello All,
Anyone recall the essays from the July 2008 Florida Bar exam?
Thanks.
Category: FL - Florida Bar Exam
[COLOR=#ff0000]Florida[/COLOR] subjects tested on Feb 2008
3 essays: Trust (mean was 41), FL Con Law (mean was 51) , and Contracts (mean was 53)
People did not expect trust, so it was the lowest. It's not a very common essay if you look at the past questions.
3 multiple: Fl Civil/Crim Procedure, Fl Evidence, Fl Wills
These are pretty common subjects for multiple choice
The first essay was property and ethics. It involved a gratuitous conveyance of land as well as a subsequent purchaser for value (though you had to distinguish between bona fide purchaser and just a purchaser). It also had issues regarding confidentiality, withdrawing as counsel, and perjury.
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.
