Agency and Partnership on the Multistate Essay Exam (MEE): Highly Tested Topics and Tips

Agency and Partnership are regularly tested on the MEE. The bar examiners often test the same issues, so it is worth knowing what these highly tested Agency and Partnership issues are.

Agency and Partnership on the Multistate Essay Exam

1. First, know how Agency and Partnership are tested

Agency and Partnership are tested about once a year. Note that sometimes only Agency is tested and other times only Partnership is tested. Sometimes you will see a mixture of both Agency and Partnership principles tested on the MEE.

Agency is sometimes tested with other subjects, such as Torts.

The basic principles of Agency and Partnership tend to be tested on the MEE. Most MEE answers reference the Uniform Partnership Act (UPA), the Revised Uniform Partnership Act (RUPA), or the Restatement (Second) of Agency. If you took Agency and Partnership or Business Organizations in law school, the law you learned in your law school class should be very consistent with the law you are expected to apply on the MEE.

2. Be aware of the highly tested Agency and Partnership issues

The bar examiners tend to test several of the same issues repeatedly in Agency and Partnership questions. (We have a nice summary of these in our MEE One-Sheets if you want to see them in one place.)

Some of the highly tested Agency MEE issues include:

Actual Authority

Apparent Authority

Vicarious Liability of Employer Principal

When is an agent liable to third-party on a contract

Some of the highly tested Partnership MEE issues include:

Partnership

Fiduciary duties of Partners

Dissolution of a Partnership

Liability before and after LLP Statement of Qualification if Filed

3. Key Agency and Partnership vocabulary

Students may know the general principles of Agency and Partnership but sometimes forget the key vocabulary or legal “buzzwords” to use. We recommend that you use these words and bold or underline them to draw attention to them in your MEE answers.
