ExamSoft

If you plan to type your exams, do yourself a favor and take 45 minutes to watch my ExamSoft Tutorial Video.  While it is a great product and a godsend for those with bad handwriting, there are thinks you need to be aware of to avoid those deadly mistakes.  Don’t make any major changes to your laptop after you have installed the Bar Edition of SofTest – for heavens sake, don’t reformat your hard drive.  Turn off your wireless signal so your laptop is not continiously searching for a wireless connection during your bar exam.  These and many more very important tips are covered in this FREE 45 minute presentation.



Tip for Typers:
A couple of weeks before the bar, install and run PC Tools Registry Mechanic. It only costs $30 and has a 30 day money back guarantee. This is also a great time to install the current version of Norton Anti-Virus Software or if you already have the latest copy, make sure the signature files are uptodate and run daily virus scans.

However, don’t make ANY major changes to your laptop during the one week period preceeding the bar and especially during the course of the bar!



You’ve worked really hard preparing for the bar exam. All the years of law school and self sacrafice for this exam! After the bar is over, treat yourself to a nice vacation and get away from all the stress and recharge your batteries!!

Wills & Trusts Discussion

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Like the Anna Nicole Smith case, Michael Jackson will certainly bring a litany of law suits surrounding his trust and/or will.  Under what legal theory could his will be contested?  Some might argue if he was under the influence of drugs, he lacked the mental capacity.  However, even if he was a frequent or even daily drug user, only a few minutes of clarity is sufficient for testamentary intent.  Has anyone researched the Anna Nicole Smith case since it might be closely related set of circumstances?  During the coming weeks, I would not be surprised to hear about a recently discovered codicil, revocation, lack of testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud or who knows what else.  A similar fact pattern on the bar exam could make for a very demanding essay!!  Please share your thoughts on these and other similar cases you may have come across.
