Predictions

Well, it might be early yet, but I'm going to go out on a limb and make some predictions for the essay portion of the exam. There are a total of 6 essays. Based upon the frequency of topics covered in the past, here is what I think will show up this year:

Civil Procedure
Con Law
Crim/Crim Pro (in a cross-over question)
Evidence
Professional Responsibility, crossed over with something else
Remedies and Torts (cross-over)
Trusts and Wills (cross-over)

Topics I don't think will show up this time:

Community Property
Contracts
Corporations
Real Property

I'll spare you my analysis of topic frequency at this point.

But as they say, the bar exam is unpredictable at best. For example, Remedies had never been tested twice in a row until all of a sudden it was tested 8 times in a row from the Spring of 1999 to Summer 2002.
