This book tells you how to use it to pass the New York bar exam. It presents every issue tested on the exam essays for the past 10 years in a concise chart, identifies the frequency with which these issues have been tested, and provides a rule of law for every identified issue. The paragraphs of law track the released NY essays and show how to tailor a paragraph of law to respond to the issue in the question. This book is unique in its detailed attention to the New York essays, providing a comprehensive resource for that portion of the exam by offering a step-by-step approach for reading, outlining, and writing essays, plus a side-by-side comparison between the New York Board of Law Examiners' Content Outline and the Table of Issues to show exactly which issues have been tested – and how often they have been tested.
