It's a dream Saturday, for sure. Leave home by 8 AM to get to a hotel in Santa Clara, only to sit in a conference room watching a prominent constitutional scholar on DVD lecture on "all [we] need to know for the MPRE." The Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam is a real treat. Like the more ridiculous Multistate Bar Exam, it is an objective exam on made up law. Why made up? Because no state adopts the ABA's Model Code in whole; California's Rules of Professional Conduct are structure wildly differently.

If I've pitched it to be as fascinating as possible, I discovered this morning that one can apparently take the lecture for free. Despite the note on my registration confirmation email, there was no pre-registration required. However, I was to arrive with a copy of the email and a picture ID. Of course, no one ever looked at them, even when they asked if I had already received my MPRE study guide.

Of course, I did pay for all of this. But if you can think of no better way to spend 4 hours on a Saturday morning, just track the schedule for your area, too.
