Bar Examination  \nEssay Questions and  \nSelected Answers  \nJuly 2021  \nOFFICE OF ADMISSIONS  \nESSAY QUESTIONS AND SELECTED ANSWERS  \nJULY 2021  \nCALIFORNIA BAR EXAMINATION  \nThis publication contains the five essay questions from the July 2021 California Bar Examination and two selected answers for each question.  \nThe selected answers are not to be considered “model” or perfect answers. The answers were assigned high grades and were written by applicants who passed the examination after the First Read. They are reproduced as submitted by the applicant, except that minor corrections in spelling and punctuation were made for ease in reading. These answers were written by actual applicants under time constraints without access to outside resources. As such, they do not always correctly identify or respond to all issues raised by the question, and they may contain some extraneous or incorrect information. The answers are published here with the consent of the authors.  \nQuestion Number  Subject  \n1. Civil Procedure  \n2. Professional Responsibility  \n3. Torts  \n4. Criminal Law and Procedure  \n5.

Figueroa Street Los Angeles, CA 90017  \nESSAY EXAMINATION INSTRUCTIONS  \nYour answer should demonstrate your ability to analyze the facts in the question, to tell the difference between material facts and immaterial facts, and to discern the points of law and fact upon which the case turns. Your answer should show that you know and understand the pertinent principles and theories of law, their qualifications and limitations, and their relationships to each other.  \nYour answer should evidence your ability to apply the law to the given facts and to reason in a logical, lawyer-like manner from the premises you adopt to a sound conclusion. Do not merely show that you remember legal principles. Instead, try to demonstrate your proficiency in using and applying them.  \nIf your answer contains only a statement of your conclusions, you will receive little or no credit. State fully the reasons that support your conclusions and discuss all points thoroughly.  \nYour answer should be complete, but you should not volunteer information or discuss legal doctrines that are not pertinent to the solution of the problem.  \nUnless a question expressly asks you to use California law, you should answer according to legal theories and principles of general application.  \nQUESTION 1  \nJiff, a California citizen who resides in Truckee, California, just west of Reno, Nevada, provides cleaning services. At Jiff’s request, customers submit written evaluations of his services so he can monitor their satisfaction.  \nJiff entered into a contract with Shearer, a Nevada citizen who operates a beauty salon in Reno, Nevada. The contract, signed in Reno, obligated Jiff to use due care in cleaning. One night while cleaning, Jiff accidentally broke an antique vase, which Shearer claimed was worth $100,000 .  \nShearer sued Jiff for negligence in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, which includes Truckee. The complaint alleged that Jiff’s lack of due care caused breakage of the vase. Shearer moved to compel production of evaluations completed by Jiff’s customers in the past year. The court denied the motion.  \nFollowing a trial, the jury returned a general verdict in favor of Jiff and the court entered judgment on the verdict. Shearer did not appeal.  \nSix months later, Shearer sued Jiff again in the same court for breach of contract. The complaint alleged that Jiff’s lack of due care caused breakage of the vase.  \n1. Was venue properly laid in the Eastern District of California? Discuss.  \n2. Did the court err in denying Shearer’s motion to compel? Discuss.  \n3. May Jiff take advantage of the judgment in the first suit in defending against the second suit","cbCaipDdgSvM4tcR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipDdgSvM4tcR","pdf",459038,101,"English","# Essay Examination Instructions\n## Question 1\n## Question 1: Selected Answer A","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this publication for the July 2021 California Bar Examination?\",\"answer\":\"It provides the five essay questions from the July 2021 exam along with two selected answers for each question.\"},{\"question\":\"Are the selected answers intended to be perfect model responses?\",\"answer\":\"No. They are not considered “model” or perfect answers, even though they received high grades.\"},{\"question\":\"What should an essay response demonstrate according to the examination instructions?\",\"answer\":\"It should analyze the facts, distinguish material from immaterial facts, identify relevant points of law and fact, apply the law to the facts, and provide fully stated reasons supporting conclusions.\"}]","California Bar Examination - Essay Questions and Selected Answers - July 2021 | PDF",1789949991,255]
