Ep 026 - July 2025 California Bar Exam WildCard Essay Predictions
Get ready for the July 2025 California Bar Exam with our comprehensive wildcard essay predictions! In this episode, we dive deep into the subjects that haven't appeared recently and are prime candidates for testing. Our expert analysis covers four critical wildcard areas that could make or break your exam performance.
We start with Criminal Law, examining patterns from July 2023 back through previous years to identify high-probability topics. Since larceny and burglary have been heavily tested recently, we're predicting a shift toward crimes against persons, particularly kidnapping, robbery, and conspiracy. We break down the specific elements and defenses you need to master for each potential topic.
Next, we tackle Criminal Procedure, where we analyze the testing patterns and highlight key areas like Miranda rights, Fourth Amendment searches, wiretaps, and informant cases. With detailed examination of past exams from 2019 through 2023, we identify the gaps that are likely to be filled in July 2025, including identification procedures and fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine.
Our Trusts analysis goes back a full decade to uncover the forgotten topics that are due for a comeback. We explore charitable trusts, the doctrine of cy pres, constructive trusts, and fiduciary duties that haven't been tested in years. These deep-dive predictions could give you the edge when other test-takers are caught off guard.
Finally, we examine Business Associations, another subject requiring archaeological-level research into past exams. We cover derivative actions, piercing the corporate veil, duty of loyalty issues, tender offers, and partnership authority questions that are ripe for testing after years of absence.
This episode includes specific case analysis, detailed breakdowns of testing patterns, and strategic study recommendations for each wildcard subject. We also announce our limited-time flash sale for the Bar Exam Drills app at just $1.99 for the remainder of July, giving you access to all essay outlines, MBE questions, and study materials.
Whether you're a first-time taker or repeating the exam, these wildcard predictions based on historical analysis and testing gaps could be the difference between passing and having to retake. Don't let the examiners surprise you with these less frequently tested but equally important subjects.
