February 2010 DC Bar Exam Predictions

Since I was lucky last spring in regards to my predictions for the July 09 DC exam, someone asked me to make predictions for the upcoming exam in February. I fee like Chris Berman from ESPN as the swami, but I'll give it a go.

Taking the info I gathered last spring (MEE essay topics from July 07 (the first time the available NCBE questions included MBE subjects in the MEE essays) through Feb 09) and adding in the most recent (July 09) DC essay subjects:
July 07:
Contracts
Criminal Law
Property
Family Law
Agency/Partnerships
Trusts

Feb 08:
Evidence
Torts
Wills
Secured Transactions
Corporations
Trusts

July 08:
Con Law (torts flavored)
Property
Civ Pro
Contracts
Agency
Trusts

Feb 09:
Evidence
Property
Torts
Civ Pro
Corporations
Commercial Paper

July 09:
Trusts
Secured Transactions
Con Law
Crim Law / Crim Pro (with Evidence included as well)
Family Law / Conflict of Laws
Wills

Here is my best guess for the February 2010 DC MEE subjects:
Property
Contracts
Con Law
Commercial Paper
Corporations
Trusts

For the MPT, you can count on a memo to a partner for one question, the second could be that or one of the other choices. Hard to tell. Here is a chart I had (and have supplemented with more recent info) The formatting from Excel does not translate well to this post and I am too lazy to make it look pretty...:

MPT 1 MPT 2 MPT 3

The NCBE currently produces two MPT questions and DC uses both of them. In the past, the NCBE made three MPT questions available- DC picked two of the three (which is why some years my chart has three types of questions....MPT1 and MPT2 were the questions asked by DC if I recall correctly).

Hope that helps and good luck to all DC takers (especially any repeaters!).
