What do you need to suceed on your state's essay exam?
First and foremost (and not surprisingly,) state bar examiners emphasize one important point: in order to pass the essay exam, an applicant must exhibit superior analytical skills. The National Conference of Bar Examiners’ Comprehensive Guide to Bar Admissions Requirements asserts that a state “bar examination should test the ability of an applicant to identify legal issues in a statement of facts, such as may be encountered in the practice of law, to engage in a reasoned analysis of the issues and to arrive at a logical solution by the application of fundamental legal principles, in a manner which demonstrates a thorough understanding of these principles. The examination should not be designed primarily to test for information, memory or experience.”
