California Bar Exam: February 2013 Subjects Covered

I am eagerly waiting for the California bar to post the actual essays questions and performance tests.  A few sources (see here, herehere, and here) are reporting the following essay subjects:
  • Crimes (conspiracy, receipt of stolen goods, and attempted receipt of stolen goods)
  • Professional responsibility (communication with former employee of represented party, knowingly allowing client to lie, communication of settlement offer)
  • Remedies (conversion, replevin, equitable lien, constructive trust, quasi-contract)
  • Torts (products liability, negligent warning, innocent bystander theory)
  • Federal civil procedure (discovery, work-product, relation-back, and complaint amendment)
  • Business associations (general partnership, failed incorporation, liability for secured loan)
The performance tests allegedly involved a persuasive task and an objective task.  This seems to be the clear trend in performance tests (one objective and one persuasive task).  The sources mentioned above are stating that the performance tests involved a persuasive letter and an objective memorandum - the usual suspects.

I'll keep checking for the exam to be posted.  In the meantime, any California February 2013 bar exam takers care to chime in?
