MBE Subjects in relation to Texas Essays

While subjects covered by the MBE are not emphasized in the Texas Essays, essay subjects may involve some issues covered on the MBE. For example, the UCC essay questions may involve the chapter on sales that may be applicable in some questions concerning contracts on the MBE, and the family law (and real property) essay questions frequently involve issues concerning real property, also covered on the MBE. You will be expected to recognize and discuss all issues raised by the facts, regardless of possible overlap among subjects.
