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  \n1.  \n2.  \n3.  \n4.  \n5.  \nSubject  \nBusiness Associations  \nReal Property  \nProfessional Responsibility  \nCivil Procedure  \nRemedies  \nESSAY QUESTION 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 situation turns. Your answer should show that you know and understand the pertinent principles and theories of law, their qualificationsand 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 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 to the facts.  \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 resolution of the issues raised by the call of the question.  \nUnless a question expressly asks you to use California law, you should answer according to legal theories and principles of general application.  \nQUESTION 1  \nPickWinners Inc. (Pick) is a corporation that markets to wealthy investors who want to trade stocks online. The shareholders of Pick elected Alex, Baker and Cate as the sole members of the Board of Directors.  \nCate believed that Alex and Baker caused a decline in Pick’s market share and stock price by focusing exclusively on wealthy investors, thereby ignoring average consumersand losing the low-priced end of the trading market to other companies.  \nAt a Board meeting, Cate told Alex and Baker that she planned to start a competing company called E-Save, Inc. (E-Save) unless Alex and Baker agree that Pick will form a subsidiary to focus on the low-priced end of the trading market. Cate stated,“Pick can capture the low-priced end of the market with a subsidiary that advertises on social media platforms. Otherwise, Pick risks continually losing market share and value.” Alex and Baker disagreed with the proposal and responded,“Pick’s decline just mirrors the overall recent decline of the stock market.”They also reminded Cate that,“We hired an analyst two months ago who looked at the low-priced end of the market and concluded that there was no money in it.”Cate replied, “If Pick won’t do it, I will form such a company myself.”  \nCate subsequently formed E-Save on her own. E-Save soon began generating large profits. Meanwhile, Pick’s market share and stock price continued to decline.  \nSeveral of Pick’s shareholders learned of the Board’s actions and Cate’s operation of ESave. Their written demand that the Board take remedial action was denied and the sh","cbCaigX1r97w0Ptq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigX1r97w0Ptq","pdf",646346,"English","# Essay Questions and Selected Answers\n## Essay Question Instructions\n## Question 1: PickWinners Inc.\n### Selected Answer A\n## Question 1 - Selected Answer A (Shareholder Claims)","[{\"question\":\"What does the publication say about the selected answers’ reliability?\",\"answer\":\"The selected answers are not considered model or perfect answers.
