A Reply To The National Conference Of Bar Examiners: More Talk, No Answers, So Keep On Shopping, Suzanne Darrow Kleinhaus Sep 2017

A Reply To The National Conference Of Bar Examiners: More Talk, No Answers, So Keep On Shopping, Suzanne Darrow Kleinhaus

Suzanne Darrow Kleinhaus

In Let the Games Begin: Jurisdiction-Shopping for the Shopaholics (Good Luck With That) Mark Albanese defends the National Conference of Bar Examiners’ grading practices as essential to assuring reliability given the variability in grading between UBE jurisdictions.

Ube-Shopping: An Unintended Consequence Of Portability?, Suzanne Darrow Kleinhaus Sep 2016

Ube-Shopping: An Unintended Consequence Of Portability?, Suzanne Darrow Kleinhaus

Suzanne Darrow Kleinhaus

Preparing for the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) may require more than just learning the law; it also means learning in which jurisdiction you should take it.

A Comparison Of The New York Bar Examination And The Proposed Uniform Bar Examination, Suzanne Darrow Kleinhaus, Mary Campbell Gallagher

Suzanne Darrow Kleinhaus

The New York Board of Law Examiners (BOLE) proposes adopting the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE), substituting it for the current New York Bar Exam (NYBE). The BOLE proposal is currently under active consideration, and it is the subject of public hearings. This article examines some of the issues the proposal raises. First, we look at the history of the proposal, and at the differences between the UBE and the NYBE as it is currently administered. Then we look in detail at the proposal for New York: a combination of the UBE plus a stand-alone one-hour multiple-choice New York test. Finally, …

Mapping Contracts, Suzanne Darrow Kleinhaus, Sidney Kwestel

Suzanne Darrow Kleinhaus

This book combines the substance of the doctrinal law with the process for learning, by providing the frameworks essential to legal analysis and connecting those frameworks to the cases from which they come.

It makes the learning process visible by showing how the rules from cases are synthesized to build a conceptual framework for each legal principle. Finally, the "Framework for Analysis" sections provide a blueprint for students to follow in preparing course …
