Want to Study for the Bar While Drinking in a Bar? There's an App for That
Here’s the deal: We don’t own an iPhone and we really don’t have much to say about the bar exam.* Nor do we don’t have much about say about Bar/Bri. Nor do we have much knowledge of how the kids these days study for the bar exam. Nor are we in the business of pushing products on our dear readers.
Those delightful disclaimers aside, we were alerted today to a new product put out by Bar/Bri owners Thomson Reuters, which, it seems, could be helpful to all those eyeballing taking the bar at some point soon. It’s an “app” (as they cool kids say these days) for the iPhone that sends out sample bar-exam questions that you can answer right there on your phone.
No, this isn’t going to make or break whether anyone passes the bar exam, in all likelihood. But as another study aid — and one that’s eminently portable? Who knows? We do remember, back during that beautiful summer in Seattle, having to decline all kinds of good social opportunities so we could study. Had we had an iPhone stocked with all kinds of bar-exam questions, maybe we could have studied and tagged along. Or maybe that would have been a terrible idea; it’s hard to say. LBers, you’ll have to let us know.
By the way, we have no idea what the answer is to the question shown on the photo. Our guess: is A, a contingent remainder. Anyone out there know?
* We took and passed the Washington State bar exam years ago, which, at the time, was known for being fairly easy and for having little-to-no resemblance to the bar exams of other states (it was all essay questions).
