Belafontes' Bar Exam Advice vol. 1: study to beat the exam and not your meat!

Bar Review and preparation isn’t law school anymore where you just sit down in long hours of lectures and wait for your turn to recite provisions of law and cases. You no longer study to survive the horrifying graded recitations. The Bar Exams is not only about what you have remembered or what you can recite. It tests more than mere memory and understanding. It tests your ability to analyze legal problems and to apply relevant laws and jurisprudence. For instance, what laws are applicable for regular "baby mama drama"? You don't want to cite laws applicable towards estate tax when the apparent case at hand has to do with child support provisions! Know your stuff.

Bar Exam Preparation is not just about studying to know the law and jurisprudence. It is not only about filling up your mind with legal knowledge. It is more about preparing your machine to use and apply all these legal knowledge that you have acquired. Take advantage man... take advantage.
