My daughter Lise survived the first day of the Bar exam.
Her Facebook post after the three-hour morning session: “One fourth done! Yay!" This session was the Multistate Performance Test which is designed to evaluate an applicant’s ability to use fundamental lawyering skills in a realistic situation. She had an hour and a half for each question.
The three-hour afternoon session was the Multistate Essay Exam. Each of the six essay questions is designed to be answered in one-half hour. Almost all areas of law could be covered. Basically she received a case file which she had to determine what laws applied.
Lise explained that during her bar prep classes, they were instructed to make up a law if they couldn’t remember the real one. They would get credit as long as it was legally sound and applied the correct way.
Her Facebook post after the afternoon session: "Alive... not sure about the afternoon - but I have 2 months before I need to worry about it!"
Just off the phone with Lise. She still has her sense of humor.
It will be wonderful to see her not stressed out about law school or the Bar. As she said, no need to worry about it for two months since the results aren’t due until the end of September.
