Download or read book 500 Mpre Practice Questions for 2021 written by Drury Stevenson and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These 500 sample questions have the same format and style as the questions on the current Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE). The multiple-choice format also provides a useful way to test students' knowledge of each provision or clause in each of the American Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct, as well as the ABA official Comments (which the MPRE tests along with the Model Rules themselves). Questions also cover recent ABA Formal Ethics Opinions and sections of the Restatement (Third) of the Law Governing Lawyers that are most relevant for upcoming MPRE exams. No other MPRE practice book currently on the market has as many sample questions, or as broad coverage, as this book. The practice questions are also extremely useful in mastering the material covered in every Professional Responsibility/Legal Ethics course, which is a required course at every American law school. The arrangement of topics in this book follows the order of how heavily the MPRE tests each Rule. An Index helps students find the sections devoted to individual Model Rules in case their Professional Responsibility course arranges topics in a different order. NOTE: THIS BOOK DOES NOT CONTAIN EXPLANATIONS. Most questions have a citation or reference immediately beneath the question to the specific Model Rule provision, Comment, Restatement section, or case that will explain the question and the correct answer. Professor Stevenson's YouTube channel has corresponding video lectures about each rule. Customers wanting a book with complete explanations for every question should get the author's Glannon Guide for Professional Responsibility.
