The performance test or "PT" is a section of the bar exam that is intended to mimic a real-life legal task that future lawyers may face. Of the three parts of most states' bar exams -- MBE, essay, and PT—the PT is probably the most reflective of how well a candidate will perform outside of an academic setting. A performance test may include tasks such as writing a legal memorandum, drafting an affidavit, or drafting a settlement offer letter to opposing counsel. Performance testing as part of a technical specification is covered on a different page. ==California PT== The three-day California bar exam, includes two performance test sections, one the first day and one the last day. Each PT lasts three hours and the two PTs worth 26% of the total score. The types of tasks asked are: # Legal memorandum # Persuasive brief # Declaration or affidavit # Closing argument # Opening statement # Jury instructions # Witness cross or direct examination # Discovery/investigation plan # Client letter # Client or witness interview # Negotiation, settlement proposal or agreement # Analysis of a contract, will, trust or statute # Legislation # Alternative dispute resolution task Each PT has a file and a library. The file contains factual materials about the case while the library contains the legal authorities needed. The candidates can either hand write or type using a laptop. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Performance test (bar exam)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
