This video provides a review of topics from the listing of Civil Procedure topics to be on the Multistate Bar Examation (MBE) starting in February 2015. This video covers only part of the topics. Other topics can be found in Part II at • Review of Civil Proced... .
Topics covered in this video:
Subject matter jurisdiction (diversity, federal question, supplemental, removal)
Personal jurisdiction (state court, federal court, in rem/quasi-in-rem, in personam)
Venue, transfer, and forum non conveniens
Notice and Due Process
Erie Doctrine (including Rules of Decision Act and Rules Enabling Act)
CAVEAT TO THOSE TAKING THE BAR EXAM: This video and the other videos in this series are directed towards preparation for the MBE multiple-choice exam. Time constraints prevent me from discussing all potential Civil Procedure MBE topics or issues listed in the MBE outline that might arise on the bar exam, and these same constraints limit the depth of information I can provide. Contrary to what the Rolling Stones claim, time is not on our side.
CAVEAT TO J.D. STUDENTS: This presentation was made to recent law grads aimed at helping them to prepare for the Multistate Bar Examination. That exam has a number of multiple-choice Civil Procedure questions. The presentation was crafted with the Bar Examination and bar-type multiple-choice questions in mind. Considerations that are relevant for a professor examination in a J.D. class may differ significantly.
