Don't write THIS on your bar exam essays!

One of the most common mistakes made on the essay portion of the bar exam occurs when students make conclusory statements in their essays. A conclusory statement is an assertion that is made without an explanation. This is something that you almost always want to avoid doing on the bar exam!

You should treat your bar examiner, the person who is grading your essays, like a person who has no knowledge of the law. You want to thoroughly explain everything that you are writing. Each time that you arrive at a conclusion, you need to explain exactly, step-by-step, how you arrived at that conclusion. Even though the bar examiners are attorneys, you never want to assume that they know why you arrived at a conclusion even if it seems obvious.

One simple trick that you can use when you are writing essays is to to use the word “because” anytime that you are making an assertion or coming to a conclusion. For example, compare the following:

Bad assertion: "In conclusion, the court has federal question jurisdiction."

Good assertion: "In conclusion, the court has federal question jurisdiction, BECAUSE the plaintiff’s complaint alleges a claim that arises under federal law."

Here, adding a simple “because” at the end of this statement adds the necessary explanation to make this assertion nonconclusory. The bar examiners love to see this! Don’t worry about sounding repetitive – legal writing is repetitive by its nature – use “because” as much as you need to explain your assertions.

Ultimately, if you avoid conclusory statements, you will be one step closer to writing a passing essay.
