GA Bar content outline and where to practise each area

The content areas below are copied from the official GA Bar content outline published by Georgia Office of Bar Admissions. The right-hand column shows which of our practice sets covers it.

Worked examples: how to reason through GA Bar questions

These are practice questions written for this site, not questions from the real exam. Each explanation shows why the right answer is right and why the others are wrong.

Example 1

Question: In the MPT, what is the primary purpose of an objective legal memorandum?

1. To persuade the court to rule in your client's favor
2. To provide an unbiased analysis of the legal issue and predict the likely outcome
3. To summarize only the favorable facts in the client file
4. To outline the procedural history of the case

Answer: B. To provide an unbiased analysis of the legal issue and predict the likely outcome

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. An objective memorandum gives an unbiased analysis of the legal issue and predicts the likely outcome, so the reader can decide what to do. Option A describes a persuasive brief, which argues for one side. Option C is wrong because an objective memo must deal with unfavorable facts as well as helpful ones; leaving them out would mislead the reader. Option D is wrong because procedural history may appear as background, but it is not the purpose of the document. The rule to remember: a memo informs and predicts, while a brief persuades. Read the task instructions in a performance question to see which one you are being asked to write.

Example 2

Question: Which of the following is a fundamental right triggering strict scrutiny under substantive due process?

1. The right to welfare benefits
2. The right to interstate travel
3. The right to employment in a chosen occupation
4. The right to affordable housing

Answer: B. The right to interstate travel

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. The right to interstate travel is recognised as a fundamental right, so a law that burdens it must survive strict scrutiny. Option A is wrong because welfare benefits are not a fundamental right; the government may limit them if it has a rational basis. Option C is wrong because choosing an occupation is generally protected only by rational basis review. Option D is wrong because housing is not a fundamental right either. The rule to remember: strict scrutiny follows a fundamental right or a suspect classification, and most economic and social welfare claims receive only rational basis review. Before choosing a standard, name the right first.

Example 3

Question: What is specific performance as a contract remedy?

1. A court order requiring the breaching party to perform their contractual obligations
2. A monetary payment calculated at a specific rate
3. A performance evaluation of contract compliance
4. A penalty clause in the contract

Answer: A. A court order requiring the breaching party to perform their contractual obligations

Explanation:

The correct answer is A. Specific performance is an equitable remedy in which a court orders the breaching party to do what the contract promised. Courts usually grant it when money damages are inadequate, for example when the subject matter is unique, such as land. Option B describes a payment, which is a legal remedy and not an order to perform. Option C is wrong because it is not a remedy at all; it is only a review of compliance. Option D is wrong because a penalty clause is a contract term, and courts often refuse to enforce penalties. The rule to remember: ask whether damages can make the injured party whole; if not, equity may step in.

How to use these practice tests

Start with the official outline from the Office of Bar Admissions and the table above. Mark each content area as strong, shaky or untouched, and be honest about it. Then take a practice set in an area you marked shaky, without notes, so the result shows what you actually know.

After each set, read every explanation, including those for questions you answered correctly. For each miss, write the rule in a sentence and note why the wrong option looked attractive. Group your misses by area and return to the official material or your course text to fix the gaps, then retake the set later without looking at your notes.

Give the Multistate Essay and Multistate Performance sets their own time. Write full answers in the format you will use on test day, then compare them with the explanations. For performance questions, practise reading the file and task memo carefully and deciding whether you are writing an objective memo or a persuasive document.

Do not skip Georgia Practice and Procedure and the other state-specific areas. General rules will not answer every question there, so check current Georgia sources. Near test day, mix areas in one sitting so you practise switching topics, and compare your results with the scaled score of 270 only as a rough reference, since our questions are not scored like the real exam. Keep the application deadlines in a visible place.

Bar Exam Components

Understanding the GA Bar (Georgia Bar Exam) Test

Aspiring attorneys in Georgia face a tough Georgia Bar Exam to get their law license. This exam tests their legal knowledge and professional skills. Knowing what the Georgia Bar Exam covers is key to preparing well.

The Georgia Bar Examination itself is a two-day exam with three components: the Multistate Performance Test (MPT), four Georgia essay questions, and the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE).

Separately — and required for admission, but not part of the bar exam — candidates must also pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) with a score of 75 or higher, administered independently by the National Conference of Bar Examiners three times a year (April, August, and November). You may sit for the bar exam before passing the MPRE, but Georgia will not issue your Certificate of Eligibility until a passing MPRE score is on file.

Georgia Bar Exam Requirements

Why is the GA Bar Important?

To take the Georgia Bar Exam, candidates must:

• Meet Georgia bar admission rules, like education and character checks.
• Submit the Georgia Bar Exam application on time with the right fees.
• Pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) with a score set by the Georgia State Bar Association.

Sample Georgia Bar Exam Practice Questions

Try these questions from our free Georgia Bar Exam practice tests. The correct answer and an explanation follow each question.

1. A Georgia corporation's board of directors wishes to declare a dividend. Under the Georgia Business Corporation Code, which test must be satisfied?

   • A. The corporation must have retained earnings exceeding par value of all shares
   • B. The distribution must not render the corporation unable to pay debts as they become due or make total assets less than total liabilities
   • C. Dividends require approval of at least two-thirds of shareholders
   • D. Only preferred shareholders may receive dividends without a surplus

Answer: B. The distribution must not render the corporation unable to pay debts as they become due or make total assets less than total liabilities

Georgia law prohibits distributions that would render the corporation insolvent or that would make total liabilities exceed total assets.

Answer: B. Transacts any business within Georgia or commits a tortious act or omission within Georgia

O.C.G.A. § 9-10-91 extends Georgia's long arm jurisdiction to nonresidents who, among other acts enumerated in the statute, transact business in Georgia or commit a tortious act or omission within Georgia.

Answer: C. 90 minutes

Each MPT task receives 90 minutes on the UBE, testing a candidate's ability to produce quality work under realistic time pressure.

Answer: B. No, because a corporation is a citizen of both its state of incorporation and principal place of business

Under 28 U.S.C. § 1332, a corporation is deemed a citizen of both its state of incorporation and the state where it has its principal place of business, so complete diversity is destroyed here.
