OAGB Bar Final Assessment case studies
OAGB Bar Final Assessment · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The OAGB Bar Final Assessment is a general bar-style examination built around eight weighted subject areas: Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law and Procedure, Evidence, Real Property, Torts, and Legal Writing and Analysis. The first seven domains carry 14, 14, 14, 14, 12, 12, and 12 percent respectively, while Legal Writing and Analysis carries 8 percent, so no single subject can be safely skipped and the writing component still matters at the margin. The OAGB Bar Final Assessment case studies are 5 cases and about 2,454 words.
