Strategies & Tactics for the MBE

"this new edition contains 30 more questions on Civil Procedure than the prior edition did. Civil Procedure did not become part of the MBE until February 2015. Therefore, unlike all the other questions in this book, many of the Civil Procedure questions here (both in the Civil Procedure section and in the Practice Exam) are not actual past MBE questions released by the examiners, but rather, questions drafted by my editorial team and me that we hope will prove comparable to the ones you will encounter on the exam. However, Questions 1-30 in the Civil Procedure section are actual past MBE questions re-leased by the examiners, and are new in this edition. The first few editions of this book, dating to the 1990s, were written solely by the late Kimm Walton, J.D. Kimm and I then collaborated on several later editions in the early 2000s. Kimm was also the sole original author of the Law in a Flash series of legal flashcards published by Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory U.S. Kimm, who died tragically in 2013 at age 53, was a wonderful (and funny) legal writer whom my colleagues and I greatly miss. For this 2020 edition, I did the substantial majority of the editorial revision work myself and take full responsibility for all errors. I would, however, like to express my thanks to several people who worked with me on this and/or previous editions: On this edition: Barbara Lasoff, my publishing colleague. On the prior (6th) edition: Helen Hershkoff, Herbert M. and Svetlana Wachtell Professor of Law, New York Uni-versity Law School. Don Bushell, J.D., member of the California bar. Dana Wilson, J.D., editor"--
