Just when you think you're ready for anything...

The Bar Examiners always have the last laugh. Take a look at the Remedies #5 essay in the CA essay book... also known as the atrocity that met Summer 2003 bar exam takers on question 2...

The fact pattern is all about a land purchase deal gone bad... partly purchased using embezzlled funds... blah blah blah

Call of the question: What remedies based on trust theories, might Polly and Acme seek...

Eh?

The Commentary:
"This bar question is a true odd-ball problem..... This questions illustrates the importance of knowing every aspect of law. While at first glance, resulting and contructive trusts may not seem to be a very popular or recurring bar subject, this question required a detail knowledge of the area. This bar question reaffirms the need to be prepared in all areas."

Thanks Barbri. Know everything. Got it.

Curious - did you do con law essay 6? I lost some faith in Barbri also.

yep- equally ridiculous... barbri is great at preparing us for what usually shows up but when its something oddball we're apparently on our own

ok, so i think this is where being a sheep comes into play. If everyone misses it, then we're set!! so if its too hard, remember not to bull shit too well.

Man some parts of the answers on various essays are totally inferential bullshit.
