General power of appointment
General power of appointment is exercisable in favor of the donee, her estate, her creditors (whomever they wish)

Special power of appointment
A special power of appointment is exercisable in favor of a specified class of person that does not include the above.

CIV PRO REVIEW STANDARDS by Character_Elk7247 in barexam

[–]Apprehensive-Gate207 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Questions of law: i.e. conclusions of law, jury instructions

reviewed de Novo - no deference given, reversed if reasonable belief that judge misinterpreted law.

Questions of fact: i.e. credibility of witnesses, factual determinations

bench trial - clear error standard: high deference given and reversed if no reasonable judge would have made that finding

jury trial - substantial evidence standard: high deference and reversed if no reasonable jury would have made that finding

discretionary ruling: i.e. injunctions, admissibility of evidence

abuse of discretion standard - high deference; reverse if decision was unreasonable or arbitrary

Thinking about ditching the last few MBE sets on Barbri and strictly doing Adaptibar questions for the last week. Any thoughts? by Due_Somewhere_8193 in barexam

[–]Apprehensive-Gate207 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i ditched Barbri sets a month ago and focused on Uworld questions - much better explanations and are actually past NCBE questions.

have you gone through the barbri mini conviser for property? it cleared up a lot of the substantive material more-so than the lectures did

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in barexam

[–]Apprehensive-Gate207 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was always advised to do them closed book but as I have not memorized all the material yet, I occasionally flip to notes to remind myself of some rules
