Looking for February 2018 Michigan Bar Exam Predictions?

Wondering what our February 2018 Michigan bar exam predictions are?

We think that the February 2018 Michigan bar exam is going to be difficult. The Michigan Board of Law Examiners tends to take more risks in February. Difficult and odd subjects like Commercial Paper are more likely to come up now than ever. So our general advice is to not ignore anything when you study!

Wondering what our February 2018 Michigan bar exam predictions are?

Last February 2017 was a very difficult exam with less than a 50% passage rate. We predicted that the July 2017 Michigan bar exam would “make up” for that difficult exam and have a higher passage rate. At 72%, the July Michigan bar exam passage rate is among the highest it has been for a while.  Now we believe that the pendulum will swing back in the other direction. We believe the subjects and topics tested will be difficult. However, we do not think the passage rate will be as low as it was in February 2017.

If you would like our topic predictions for February 2018, sign up for our Michigan bar exam seminar. We predicted several of the topics that would be tested on the July 2017 Michigan bar exam.

Our Michigan bar exam seminar accurately covered many of the issues on the bar exam including:

• The entire Criminal Procedure question on search incident to arrest and specifically whether officers could search a cell phone incident to arrest. We cited the exact case on point (the Riley case) and discussed it in our seminar.
• The entire Criminal Law question.  We discussed conspiracy and also accurately noted in our seminar that Michigan does not require an overt act to prove a conspiracy. This exact question was tested on the bar exam.
• The entire Civil Procedure question. Not only did we accurately predict that Civil Procedure would test personal jurisdiction, but we discussed the exact step-by-step approach to take if you saw a personal jurisdiction question.
• The entire Real Property/Creditors’ Rights question on foreclosure by advertisement (including the statutory right of redemption).
• The entire Personal Property question was covered by the seminar handout—including the Lost and Unclaimed Property Act (LUPA), which we predicted would be tested—and “abandonment”
• We predicted the entire Family Law question and specifically stated that marital versus separate assets were likely to appear on the exam.
• The entire Equity question was covered by our Michigan bar exam seminar. We told students to memorize the preliminary injunction factors and this is exactly what was tested.
• The Corporations question on derivative lawsuits. Not only did we cover derivative actions in the seminar but we also predicted that it would be coming up on the exam! We discussed the exact procedure necessary for filing a derivative action and we were happy to see that specifically tested.
• The Real Property question regarding the race-notice statute. Half of the Real Property question tested Michigan’s race-notice statute and, specifically, what constituted “notice.” We told students to be on the lookout for this as we predicted this issue may be coming up – and it did.
• The No-Fault question had a noneconomic damages issue, which was discussed in our seminar and predicted to come up.
• The Wills question was covered by the handout—we discussed both will validity and revocation of a will, which were two of the three major issues tested by that question.
• We also stated that we thought hearsay would be tested in Evidence, negligence would be tested in Torts, and that Secured Transactions would be tested (and we included charts in the seminar that covered perfection of PMSI’s and non-PMSI’s—both of which were tested).

The Michigan bar exam seminar is designed by Ashley Heidemann, who scored over a 180 on the Michigan bar exam in February 2011 and has been tutoring for every administration ever since. Ms. Meagan Jabbori leads the seminar.
