✍️ Sample MN BAR Questions & Answers
1. In Minnesota, what is the standard remedy for breach of contract?
Minnesota courts award expectation damages to place the non-breaching party in the position they would have been in had the contract been performed.
2. Under Minnesota corporate law, a merger between two corporations is effective upon:
Under Minn. Stat. § 302A.641, a merger becomes effective when the articles of merger are filed with the Minnesota Secretary of State.
3. A Minnesota court would likely find a contract unconscionable and refuse to enforce it if:
Minnesota courts apply both procedural unconscionability (unfair bargaining) and substantive unconscionability (oppressive terms) to refuse enforcement of unconscionable contracts.
4. Under Minnesota law, when a corporation dissolves voluntarily, its assets must be distributed in which order?
Upon dissolution, a corporation must first pay or provide for all corporate debts and liabilities, and only then distribute remaining assets to shareholders in accordance with their rights.
5. What is the purpose of a "motion for judgment on the pleadings"?
A motion for judgment on the pleadings is filed after the pleadings (complaint, answer, counterclaim, etc.) are closed, but before discovery or trial. It asks the court to rule in favor of the moving party because, even assuming all factual allegations in the non-moving party's pleadings are true, the law clearly dictates a particular outcome. The court considers only the facts alleged in the pleadings and any attached exhibits.
6. Under Minnesota corporate law, when may a court pierce the corporate veil and hold shareholders personally liable?
Minnesota courts pierce the corporate veil when the corporate form is used to perpetrate fraud or achieve injustice, and there is such unity of interest that the corporation is merely an alter ego of the shareholder.
