The Maryland bar examiners seem to like these materials!
Compare the section from The Sullivan Method materials on Torts and the model student
answer from the Maryland bar exam:

From The Sullivan Method section on Torts:

Question: What is the doctrine of last clear chance? When is it most likely
to be used? Which party can assert it?

Answer: The doctrine of last clear chance acts to take the "sting" out of
contributory negligence. It states that the plaintiff will be able to
recover from the defendant despite being contributorily negligent if the
plaintiff can show that the defendant had the "last clear chance" to avoid
the accident.


Compare the above answer with the Model Answer to February 2002 Maryland Bar
Exam Question # 10, A(ii):


"However, to take the sting out of the harsh consequences of contributory
negligence, there is the doctrine of last clear chance."
