, Q1. In an MEE essay, if a fact pattern presents a torts claim and a contracts issue
intertwined, which approach best maximizes score under the National Conference of
Bar Examiners' grading criteria?
A. Separate the issues and analyze each under its own doctrinal framework, using a
modified IRAC for each.
B. Combine the issues into a single analysis to show the examiner how they interact.
C. Prioritize the torts claim because it involves more facts, and mention contracts only
in a footnote.
D. Frame the entire answer under the contracts doctrine, since contracts issues are more
frequently tested on the MEE.
Correct Answer: A. Separate the issues and analyze each under its own doctrinal
framework, using a modified IRAC for each.
Rationale: The MEE rewards clear, organized analysis of each legal issue. Separating
issues and applying the correct doctrinal framework for each ensures that both are fully
addressed, which maximizes points. Combining or prioritizing one issue risks missing
elements of the other, leading to lower scores.
Why Wrong:
B - Combining issues muddles the legal standards and can cause the examiner to miss
a required element of one claim.
C - Prioritizing one issue over the other ignores the fact that both are tested; MEE
grading allocates points to each issue present.
D - Framing everything under contracts would misapply the law and fail to address the
tort elements, losing points for the torts issue.

Strategies.

Q2. When an MEE prompt states 'Discuss the parties' rights and liabilities,' which of
the following best describes the expected scope of the answer?
A. Analyze all possible claims and defenses for both parties, even if not directly raised
by the facts.
B. Focus only on the claims that are most likely to succeed based on the facts.
C. Limit analysis to the plaintiff's claims, since the defendant's liabilities are implicit.
D. Provide a conclusion for each party but avoid discussing alternative theories.
Correct Answer: A. Analyze all possible claims and defenses for both parties, even if
not directly raised by the facts.
Rationale: MEE prompts using broad language like 'discuss all rights and liabilities'
require a comprehensive analysis of every plausible issue raised by the facts, including
alternative claims and defenses. This ensures full credit is earned for all potential issues
the examiners intended to test.
