By now, you are probably aware that the MBE has added Federal Civil Procedure as an area to be tested.
But, this change creates the problem that there are no released practice questions.
While your bar prep course will surely provide you with many practice Civ Pro questions, the creators of the MBE have released ten sample Civil Procedure questions to whet your appetite.
A review of these questions reveals testing on the following general topics:
- Subject matter jurisdiction
- Service of process
- Conflict of laws
- Jury trials
- Third-Party Practice/Impleader
- Voir dire/Jury selection
- Summary judgment
- Judgment as a matter of law
- Claim preclusion
- Appellate standards of review
You can check out the sample questions by clicking here.
Don’t forget, I have a new Civil Procedure outline with my MBE outlines to help you study for this new topic area. (The same material is also included in the California outlines as well.)
