| In order to assist persons wishing to prepare
for the essay portion of the Maryland Bar Examination or to review
their examinations, the State Board of Law Examiners prepares a Board's
Analysis and selects Representative Good Answers for each essay question
given in each examination. The Board's Analyses and the Representative
Good Answers are intended to illustrate to potential examinees ways
in which essay questions are analyzed by the Board and answered by
persons actually taking the examination. This material consists
of three parts:
1. The Essay Question is a reprint of the question
as it appeared on the examination. Extracts of statutory material
and rules are not included.
2. The Representative Good Answer(s) consist of one or more
actual answers to the essay question. They are reproduced
without any changes or corrections by the Board, other than spelling.
The Representative Good Answers are provided to illustrate how actual
examinees responded to the question. The Representative Good
Answers are not average passing answers nor are they necessarily
answers which received a perfect score; they are responses which,
in the Board's view, illustrate successful answers.
3. The Board's Analysis consists of a discussion of the
principal legal and factual issues raised by a question. It
is prepared by the Board. The Board's Analysis is not a model
answer, nor is it an exhaustive listing of all possible legal issues
suggested by the facts of the question.
