How to Use This Study Guide
What it Contains
This Study Guide contains past essay questions and summary answers for the MEE’s from Feb.
2004 through
... [Show More] July 2019. These questions/answers are organized within each subject area in
reverse chronological order (newest to oldest).
Purpose
The purpose of this study guide is so you can quickly review past essays to see at a glance:
1. How the questions are posed; and
2. What the bar examiners are looking for in an essay answer.
This way you can prepare yourself for what you will be asked and how to answer essay
questions on the bar exam.
How to Use When Studying
We recommend working in reverse chronological order (newest to oldest) to review at least 5
essays per subject area. If you have enough time, you should review most (if not all) of the
questions/answers. The more time you set aside for review, the more prepared you will be on
exam day.
Please be aware of the following points when reviewing the questions and smart summary
analyses.
• First, this study guide contains summary versions of the essay answers adapted from the
official released MEE’s. As such, the summary answers DO NOT contain what would be
required for a full essay answer.
• Second, six subjects (Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law & Procedure,
Evidence, Real Property, and Torts) have only been tested on the MEE since July 2007.
Thus, there will be less questions/answers for said subjects.
• Third, Article 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code (Commercial Paper/Negotiable
Instruments) was removed from the exam beginning in February 2015. Thus, we have
not included any past essays for that subject area, as it is no longer tested.
Best of luck on the exam!
