Matters taken up during the dialogue between the Officers and Members of the Philippine Association of Law Schools and Justice Roberto A. Abad, Chairman of the 2011 Bar Examinations.
1. Random Selection of Topic Items for the Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
2. Use of Multiple Choice Questions from Law Schools
3. The Essay Exams
The Examinees will not be graded for a technically right or wrong answer but for the quality of his/her legal advocacy. The test is intended to measure one's skill in: (a) Communicating in English (20%); (b) Sorting out the conflicting claims and extracting those facts that are relevant to the issue or issues in the case (15%); (c) Identifying the issue or issues presented (15%); (d) Constructing your arguments and persuading your reader to your point of view (50%).
Quality of writing, not length is desired. The time pressure is part of the exam.
