Agreed, whoever said the BarBri questions are easier than the real thing was nuts, at least when it comes to this exam.

I didnt study for this AT ALL when I was in law school, and I passed. But I have to say, it was not one of my better performances. For whatever reason, I found it a little tricky.
Porbably because I have no ethics.

You think you had it rough in there....
I was slogging through it, thinking it was a bit harder than the practice questions. I check the clock after I finished the first 10 - 25 minutes burned.
I thought I sped up a bit, I was about 3 questions behind at the half way mark....
Then suddenly with 10 mins left I realized that I was only on 48, not 58! I panicked, tried to pick off the shortest ones... Then I filled in random responses for about 8 questions. I glanced at 3 of those for a few seconds and just threw down the one that looked best.
Ya, I'm screwed.
What number right usually works out to an 85? Not that it matters.

For an 85? I think I might be able to barely scrape by.
It occurs to me that there must be a lot of total idiots who still manage to make it through law school if it is this easy to avoid the bottom 25%.
Not that I'm one of the ones that made it.

so we can be even lazier 3L year. i don't want to have to study for ANYTHING next year...
while i thought it was difficult, i finished a first pass through the exam in little over an hour. i could have been home before the exam was over if i left early. maybe i just wasn't getting the issues.

The client can't waive because they're concerned about a lawyer using his position to persuade opposing client to waive.
I said "impermissible without opposing counsel consent"

I seem to recall its okay because the fact pattern explicitly stated that the transaction was completely fair. From Bar-bri I remember there were 2 exceptions to the bar on business with a client:
i. Ordinary transactions
ii. If the transaction/business dealings are completely fair and reasonable.

but there are two other exceptions:
3) in writing, that the client should get the advice of an independent lawyer about the arrangement before entering into it (and the client must be given a reasonable chance to obtain that advice)
4) the client gives informed consent, in a writing that the client signts
i remember the fact pattern stating that the attorney pushed ahead and simply got the client to agree to the deal without ever mentioning anything about advice of an outside counselor

Business deals between lawyers and clients are always suspect. Lawyer can�t be a party to and the drafter of the transaction unless:
a. Terms of transaction must be fair and reasonable,
b. Terms disclosed in writing, in words that the client can understand,
c. Client is advised in writing to seek advice of another lawyer, and given the chance to do so,
d. Client must consent in writing.

Nope. Generally its insider trading (you probably have insider info). BUT, in this case the problem explicitly stated that no securities laws were being violated.
In addition, lawyer got informed consent AND purchase on the open market and not directly from the corporation.
Therefore, its fine.

I'm pretty sure the conflict is not waivable. Securities laws have nothing to do with it.
I could be wrong. Maybe I'm thinking of judge-conflicts.

that's the one i ultimately chose.
edit: now that i think about it, maybe you *can't* give advice to a nonclient - because doing so turns them into a client, and the wife here could not be a client bec of the conflict. does that make sense?

i'm curious about the general MPRE-is-a-joke-so-cram-2-hours-and-be-set mentality that exists on the board.
i was surprised by the number of people at the test center who mentioned it was not their first time taking the exam.
historically, when scores are released, how many xoxo posters admit that they failed? while everyone complains that they bombed, maybe people who bomb don't come back and update xoxo on their failure?

I believe it is about 15 points for each standard deviation. So you have to be bottom 15% to score below an 85 scaled score. With that said, look to your left, look to your right, look forward and back. Safe odds that you or one of those people you just looked at failed the mpre.
