Get ready to ace the February 2026 Uniform Bar Exam with this episode of the Bar Exam Drills Podcast. In this detailed MEE essay predictions video, I break down my analysis of the most likely subjects to appear on the February 2026 bar exam and specific topics within each subject based on historical testing patterns from the NCBE. I walk through my preliminary predictions including Civil Procedure, Evidence, Secured Transactions, Real Property, and potential wild cards like Torts, Partnerships, and Criminal Law. Using detailed analysis of past UBE exams from February 2025, July 2024, July 2023, and going back several years, I identify specific high-probability topics for each subject. For Civil Procedure, watch out for preclusion issues, Erie doctrine, and pleading requirements. Evidence predictions focus on hearsay and expert witness testimony. Secured Transactions will likely test perfection and after-acquired title, while Real Property predictions include life tenancy, wrap mortgages, and recording statutes. I also discuss Wills and Trusts topics like revocation, intestacy, and lapse rules, plus Family Law predictions centering on custody issues involving non-parents like grandparents. The video includes visual screenshots of my spreadsheet analysis tracking MEE subject frequency across multiple exam cycles to help you focus your study time efficiently. Whether you're a repeat taker or first-time bar exam candidate, these predictions can help you prioritize the most frequently tested topics and feel more confident walking into the exam. If you want more detailed predictions on the wild card subjects sooner, drop a comment and thumbs up on this video.

Today at our Pittsburgh UFO Meeting we pay homage to our fallen friend, the legendary Fred SalugaFred Saluga Bio -Fred Saluga has been investigating Bigfoot, UFOs, and other paranormal phenomena for over 50 years. He is a licensed private investigator in the States of West Virginia, Florida, and Pennsylvania and a retired law enforcement officer and Chief of Police in Fayette County, PA. He currently serves as the State Director for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) in WV and the Assistant State Director of MUFON in PA. Fred has investigated over 500 UFO cases and established MUFON's Humanoid Research Group, which oversees the investigation of humanoid beings reported as UFO occupants.He was the co-host of a Comcast Presentation that lasted for three years and produced television shows called “UFOs Over Pittsburgh” and now a podcast called “String Theory (40 movies) on YouTube.He is also served as the Director of the West Virginia Center for Unexplained Events, an organization dedicated to investigating sightings of Bigfoot, cryptids, ghosts, and other anomalous entities. He is the Director of the Fayette County, PA Bigfoot Research Project, headquartered in Uniontown, PA.Note from Mufon Director on Fred:MUFON West Virginia State Dir. and PA ASD Fred Saluga passed away. Fred joined MUFON in Florida in 1996 and worked with Joe Jordan. In 2007, I noticed Fred's name on our member list with a Florida address. I quickly recruited him into PA MUFON. When the 2008 Bucks County UFO Wave hit, our cases tripled. With the broadcast of Discovery Channels UFOs over Earth, our membership and investigators also tripled. With managing 7 states, Fred and Bill Weber were integral in helping me run PA-WV-DEL MUFON. I promoted Fred to WV SD and Bill to DEL SD, but we always worked as a team conducting training classes and 42 conferences in Erie, Pittsburgh, and Philly from 2008-2024. Fred was the people's skills, and I was the manager's skills. Fred and I did a monthly show on public TV called UFOs over Pittsburgh. After 44 episodes, we moved the show to my house under the name of String Theory of the Unexplained. In total, we did almost 100 episodes and they are available on YouTube. We made PA MUFON great!Fred was a character. He would refer to his hometown as Fayettenam so I would introduce Fred as the James Bond of Fayettenam. His passion for Bigfoot far exceeded his passion for UFOs. We lobbied MUFON to investigate the Bigfoot-UFO connection. Fred would conduct free UFO-Bigfoot conferences in extended rural locations to get the word out. Fred taught a UFO class at a local college which I have picked up as instructor. Fred, Bill, John Dousette, and I went to many Symposiums together. The most fun was in Vegas, of course, when we stayed on the Strip at my timeshare. Fred was a good friend and will be missed by many, especially me. I will miss our long drives around the state and our talks on conservative politics, UFOs, and cryptids. . . .From his daughter Leah prior to his passing, “My father is truly one of a kind. At 76, he's lived a life defined by selflessness, honesty, and a deep commitment to helping others. Even now, after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, he continues to inspire everyone around him with his strength and wit. He's been a Police Chief, CYF investigator, outpatient drug and alcohol counselor, Bigfoot and paranormal investigator. His curiosity and compassion have touched countless lives; he's always been there for people-no matter who they are or what they are going through. Throughout his life, my father has made a huge difference in this world and in so many people's lives. His impact goes far beyond our family-he's been a friend, mentor, and source of hope for so many. This diagnosis has forced him to stop working and relocate to Pittsburgh for treatment, far from his home in West Virginia. Now the time has come that his body is not responding to the treatments, one treatment affects another in not so good ways. So what it is now is the end of the road for my Poppa. He's going to be crossing the rainbow bridge anytime now. Comfort measures only at this time. I do want to also say how very strong and courageous he is through all of this up until he just fell asleep, we were still talking, and laughing, and still handling business. I want to complete his end of life wishes. I want to celebrate his life, to remember all the memories with him. Those cherished moments I'll hold in my heart forever each one unwrapping a smile. I know that he was loved by many and that's because he loved so many. Thanks in advance”. Leah SalugaTypical Skeptic Podcast Links and Affiliates:Support the Mission:

Are Coronal Mass Ejections dangerous to life on Earth? When are we finally going to plunge through the sulfuric acid clouds to measure the atmosphere of Venus. And what's up with 'Oumuamua and 3I/Atlas? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome astrobiologist Dr. David Grinspoon, aka Dr. FunkySpoon. As always, we start with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: the arrival at Earth of two consecutive Coronal Mass Ejections on Nov. 11, 2025, creating an amazing display of Northern and Sothern Lights. In the US, aurora were seen as far south as Texas and even Central America, and yet Chuck, Alan and David were all frustrated by clouds in their own attempts to see them! Luckily, they've each already seen auroras with their own eyes, a viewing event David likens to seeing a total solar eclipse. David discusses how solar flares can impact human technology, but that while solar flares from other stars could be dangerous for life on their planets, at this point in our sun's lifetime, they are unlikely to wipe out life on Earth. Chuck shares aurora images that were taken by our previous guest, astrophotographer Elliot Severn. For our audience questions this week, we're answering questions given to Chuck while he was presenting at an event in Erie, PA. The first question Chuck asks David is, “When we have interstellar visitors like 'Oumuamua and 3I/Atlas, [1] why are they moving so fast in our space? They seem to defy gravity [2] How can they know what 3I/atlas is made of but not the density or materials?” David explains why the extreme speed at which they are moving is actually proof that they are interstellar objects and not something else. He also discusses how we use spectroscopy to determine what they're made of the same way we determine what distant stars and exoplanets are made of. Our next question from Erie, PA is, “Is there a mathematical probability or formula to predict the likelihood of life existing int he universe? In other words, has someone developed a model to predict how many unique things need to happen for life to evolve?” David explains the Drake Equation, a series of questions that help astrobiologists assess the probability of intelligent life in the galaxy. Our last question from Erie is, “If humans find life on a different planet, would we actually understand how to coexist with the information, or will world leaders hide the truth from us?” David points out – as someone who has helped devise astrobiology policy – that the response depends in part on the specifics of the discovery, like how far away that life is. But would the government be able to hide it? David says that the scientists who discover it would be shouting it from the rooftops: “How long would it take to type it and hit send?” And as Chuck points out, the very act of the government trying to censor it would turbocharge the speed at which scientists would get the news out. The real problem, David says, is the potential of each discovery being overhyped by journalists, leading to public burnout. He brings up two examples of overhype: the discovery of possible biosignatures in iron nodules on the Martian rock Cheyava Falls in 2024 by the Perseverance Rover, and the presence of dimethyl sulphide in the atmospheric composition of exoplanet K2-18 b. Next, we turn to David's “second favorite planet,” Venus, which he has studied and written about extensively. David shows us the first book he ever wrote, “Venus Revealed” and talks about upcoming missions to Venus: two from the US, DAVINCI and VERITAS; a European Space Agency mission named EnVision; a Venus Orbiter Mission by India's ISRO, and a private Rocket Lab mission to Venus. David, who is involved with the DAVINCI mission, tells us about the plan to plunge through the sulfuric acid clouds to measure the Venusian atmosphere and surface with modern instruments for the first time. We end with a discussion of the anti-science cycle we're going through, and David shares why he thinks this moment is so unusual and scary, but also why there is reason for hope. Chuck talks about why scientists take the long perspective, and David reminds us of the huge worldwide support for the exploration of space.

Local historian George Deitsch returns to talk about the American Revolution and how our region was impacted.

Navigating the Complexities of Civil Procedure: A Deep DiveThis conversation delves into the complexities of the Erie Doctrine, which governs the relationship between federal and state courts in diversity cases. It highlights the foundational case of Erie Railroad v. Tompkins and discusses the constitutional limitations on federal courts regarding substantive law.In the realm of law, understanding the nuances of civil procedure is crucial for any aspiring lawyer. This blog post delves into the final critical segment of civil procedure, focusing on appellate review, the Erie doctrine, and preclusion. These elements are foundational for success in exams and real-world applications, demanding a disciplined sequential analysis.Appellate Review: The Path to Correctness Appellate review is a cornerstone of the legal process, ensuring that decisions are made correctly. It involves a multi-step framework, applying rules from statutes and major Supreme Court precedents. The final judgment rule, as outlined in 28 USC section 1291, is pivotal, granting jurisdiction to courts of appeals only from final decisions. This principle prevents piecemeal appeals, maintaining efficiency in the legal system.The Erie Doctrine: Balancing State and Federal Power The Erie doctrine is a complex area of civil procedure, defining the power dynamic between federal and state courts. It mandates that federal courts apply state substantive law and federal procedural law in diversity cases. The doctrine's twin aims are to prevent forum shopping and ensure the equitable administration of laws. Understanding this doctrine is essential for navigating the intricacies of civil procedure.Preclusion: Ensuring Finality in Litigation Preclusion, encompassing claim and issue preclusion, is vital for maintaining the finality of judgments. Claim preclusion prevents parties from relitigating claims that were or could have been raised in a previous action. Issue preclusion bars the re-litigation of specific issues decided in a prior case. These doctrines ensure that once a case is decided, it remains resolved, promoting stability in the legal system.The Interconnected System of Civil Procedure Civil procedure is an interconnected system, balancing competing values of justice and finality. As you prepare for exams or practice law, remember the importance of a disciplined approach. Understanding appellate review, the Erie doctrine, and preclusion will equip you with the tools needed to navigate the legal landscape effectively.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest insights in civil procedure and other legal topics.TakeawaysThe Erie Doctrine is a critical area of civil procedure.It defines the relationship between federal and state courts.Federal courts must apply state substantive law in diversity cases.The Erie Doctrine emerged from Erie Railroad v.

On Monday, we welcomed back Infinite Erie Executive Director Kim Thomas as we examined the highlights from the recently passsed Pennsylvania state budget and what it means for our articulated local priorities.

Navigating the Complexities of Civil Procedure: Jurisdiction and VenueThis conversation provides a comprehensive overview of civil procedure, focusing on the essential elements needed to navigate the complexities of lawsuits in America. It covers the foundational concepts of subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, and venue, along with the importance of pleadings, joinder, summary judgment, and the Erie doctrine. The discussion emphasizes the procedural traps and analytical frameworks necessary for success in civil procedure exams and practice.In the intricate world of civil procedure, understanding the foundational elements of jurisdiction and venue is crucial for any aspiring lawyer. These concepts are not just academic exercises; they are the keys to unlocking the courtroom doors.The Three Keys to the CourthouseImagine the courthouse as a fortress with three locked doors: subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, and venue. Each door requires a unique key, and they must be unlocked in a specific order. Subject matter jurisdiction determines the court's power over the type of case, personal jurisdiction assesses the court's authority over the defendant, and venue ensures the trial is held in the most appropriate location.Subject Matter Jurisdiction: The First GateFederal courts, unlike their state counterparts, are courts of limited jurisdiction. They can only hear cases authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The two main pathways into federal court are federal question jurisdiction, where the plaintiff's claim is based on federal law, and diversity jurisdiction, involving parties from different states with a dispute exceeding $75,000.Personal Jurisdiction: Fairness and Due ProcessPersonal jurisdiction is rooted in the due process clause, ensuring fairness to the defendant. The landmark case of International Shoe introduced the concept of "minimum contacts," shifting the focus from physical presence to the defendant's actions and intentions within the state.Venue: The Final StepVenue is about convenience and geography, determining the most logical courthouse for the trial. Governed by statutory rules, venue is typically proper where any defendant resides or where a substantial part of the events occurred.The Evolving LandscapeAs the legal landscape evolves, particularly with the rise of the internet, the application of these rules continues to be a dynamic and challenging area of law.

CONTINUED Grant Newsham  Japan chooses a new PM. When China Attacks is a fire bell in the night—a warning about a war that we are already losing. It offers a frightening, and well-founded, blow-by-blow account of what might happen next. China poses an existential threat to America, warns a veteran intelligence officer, and the window for an effective response is closing fast. Col. Grant Newsham, a former reserve head of intelligence for Marine Forces Pacific, delivers a blow-by-blow account of how the threat has developed, from the growing skill and belligerence of the Chinese military to gray-zone campaigns to hollow out America's will to resist. These efforts that have now reached fruition. You can see the war damage in Baltimore, Erie, Buffalo, and countless other communities across the United States. With decades of experience in Asia, including as a U.S. Marine, a diplomat, and an executive with Morgan Stanley and Motorola in Japan, Col. Newsham brings together the military, political, economic and social to provide insights into how far along we already are, and what needs to be done. Now. The question is not whether the Chinese will attack. They already have. It is trying to kill our economy, our institutions, our way of life, our people. It is dominant in the world economy. It is a master of intellectual property theft. It shows strategic genius at cornering essential markets. It has been staggeringly successful in buying influence among American elites. It is killing us with Fentanyl. And its military buildup is astonishing. So far, China has been waging a mostly covert war on the United States and its allies. But, emboldened by American weakness and perceived decline, the war could soon explode into the open. The flashpoint will be Taiwan—but the war will extend over the entire Pacific Theater and beyond. The results—as Col. Newsham paints in stark detail—will be devastating. America risks a humiliating retreat, with almost unimaginable costs to our economy and security. Will America fight back before the cold war that Communist China is waging against America and its allies goes hot? The conflict is coming. We're not ready. China is already attacking America. Is American defeat inevitable? No, but we must change course immediately. And to do that, we must wake up and heed the sobering message of When China Attacks.
