All rights reserved.  \nFor Personal Use Only. This material, or any portion hereof, may not be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means without the advance written permission of the Nevada Board of Bar Examiners.  \nNEVADA ESSAY EXAM INSTRUCTIONS  \nEach essay is one hour in length. Quality of writing counts. Answers written in a form other than paragraphed essay form will not receive full credit. Excessive use of abbreviations, such as symbols, acronyms and text-talk, may result in score reduction.  \nRead each fact situation carefully and do not assume facts that are not given in the question. Do not assume that each question covers only a single area of the law; some of the questions may cover more than one of the areas you are responsible for knowing. Do not search for hidden meanings or remote exceptions, since none are intended. Let your answer represent your best judgment in each instance on the plain meaning of the question. Clarity and conciseness are important but make your answer complete. Do not volunteer irrelevant or immaterial information or discuss legal doctrines that are not pertinent to the resolution of the issues raised by the call of the question.  \nAnalysis is the most important part of the essay answer. Your answer should demonstrate your ability to reason and analyze the facts in the question and to discern the points of law and fact upon which the situation turns. Each of your answers should show an understanding of the facts, a recognition of the issues included, a knowledge of the applicable principles and theories of law, and the reasoning by which you arrive at your conclusions. Do not merely show that you remember legal principles. Instead, demonstrate your proficiency in using and applying them to the facts. If 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.  \nYou should answer according to Nevada case or statutory law, unless Federal law applies.  \nYou will be instructed when to begin and when to stop this test. Do not open this booklet until you are told to begin.  \nYou may answer the questions in any order you wish. If you are using a laptop computer, answer each question on the screen assigned to that essay number. There is no limit on the length of your answers. If you are handwriting, answer each question in the answer booklet assigned to that essay number. Write legibly and concisely and organize your answer. You may make notes anywhere in the test materials; You may not tear pages from the question booklet.  \nDavid and Mark were seniors at Nevada College and members of the ski club. The club required existing members to recruit a freshman to grow the club. After befriending Vince, a freshman, David and Mark offered to pick him up from his dorm to attend a house party several miles away. On the way to Vince’s dorm, David told Mark that Vince came from an affluent family and had a collection of several watches worth at least $5,000 each. David said,“I think we should take one of Vince’s watches from his room. One of his watches would pay for our spring break trip and he probably won't even notice it is gone.” Mark agreed to steal Vince’s watch.  \nIn Vince’s dorm room, while Vince was distracted by David, Mark took two of Vince’swatches and put them in his jacket pocket. The three of them then went to the party, which was crowded with students. Outside by the pool, when Mark thought they were alone, Mark pulled the watches out of his pocket to show David. Unbeknownst to Mark, Vince had walked up behind them, and he started screaming when he realized David and Mark had stolen his watches. Panicked that others would hear Vince screaming and call the police, David grabbed Vince around the neck, covered his mouth, and dragged Vince into the pool house 15 feet away.
