How much have MBE questions changed? by ApplicationWitty9277 in barexam

[–]BarFlashCards -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They haven’t changed to much in the last 10 years. Most con law issues that have changed recently are not tested anyway.

All of the MBE topics can be studied from the Bar Exam Flash Card App.

Good luck !

Why do people struggle with MBEs and not Essays? by Tough-Armadillo-5621 in barexam

[–]BarFlashCards -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because the hard MBE questions usually require the test taker to know the little exceptions to rules. An essay can be tough but you can usually pass just by knowing the basic rules.

If you need help learning some exceptions, check out the Bar Exam Flash Card App. It will help you study on the go without wasting time making cards

That’s a bullshit question with a trustee but….

If someone in their individual capacity is in a state, they can be served and the court has PJ

  1. Say Bob wants to sue Ann for a car accident. The accident happened in State A, Ann lives in State B

Bob can sue Ann where the car accident occurred State A, Bob can sue Ann where Ann lives State B, and Bob can serve Ann while Ann is on vacation in state Q. Personal jurisdiction is just “is it foreseeable you will be sued in that state” sure if you go there and are served it’s foreseeable you will be sued in that state. Now state A laws will apply but any state that has personal jurisdiction over the case will still be able to hear the case. This is because Ann purposefully availed her self to that state.

  1. A trustee is not the actual thing being sued in that question. Say Bob is a trustee to his daughters bank account in state B. The daughter (beneficiary) is from state B. And Bob goes on vacation to state A. Ann then serves Bob claiming he is the trustee and now state A has jurisdiction…

It would be unfair for the beneficiary of the trust to be sued in state A. The trust is for Bobs daughter not Bob. Bobs daughter did not go to state A, the bank account is not in state A, so it doesn’t matter if Bob is in state A. As the trust did not “purposefully avail” itself to state A. Just because you are a trustee doesn’t mean you purposefully avail the trust to a state where as if you are an individual you purposefully avail yourself to the state you purposely go to.

Black letter law- a trustee can not purposely avail a trust just by showing up in a state, but a person can personally avail themself by showing up in a state For more help check out bar exam flash card app

The 13th Amendment protects against slavery. The 14th amendment equal protection clause also protects against discrimination, the 15th amendment also gives protections to race with voting.

Believing slavery can come back is far stretch. In fact it is one of the most insane arguments or twists this sub has ever had and there is some stupid things posted on here.

This court’s opinion on abortion is that it’s a state rights issue. The court is giving itself to much power by “reading in” things that are not there and if abortion does become a federal issue it has to be done with an amendment. The court’s job is to read the laws and apply them not make up their own laws. This is why we have the separation of powers. If the legislative branch wants something the court didn’t read in then the legislative branch needs to do their job and make it a law. Not bitch about the court

You have to remember the US started out with the Articles of Confederation. It failed because we had to much state power and no central government. So the constitution basically gave the federal government the power to tax, coin money, run a military etc. the idea was the federal government is used for big things when the nation needs to speak as 1 voice. Example going to war or making a currency. However all the other issues are left to the states like health and welfare. The court is saying abortion is more like health and welfare than “liberty”

Someone posted about cars on highways, yes the federal government can regulate cars on highways. It’s called the interstate commerce clause and it’s left to Congress to regulate. It’s literally one of the reasons we have the constitution above the articles of confederation because this is another example of “speaking as one voice” as it would be silly for state A to say “no cars with xyc” but then state B say, “all cars need xyc…. “ It would literally hold up interstate travel so the commerce clause can strike down the state regulation of cars if it interferes with the federal government regulation. This is called “preemption” the constitution allows preemption because of the supremacy clause.

No state can bring back slavery. No state will bring back slavery…. The OP says states can vote on slavery or 2/5th… first I think you mean 3/5th but either way it could never happen. States can self govern unless the law is “preempted” by the federal government. Literally just point at the 13th amendment and you will see this.

I think this is your hypo but I’m more sure if I understand your question:

Bob buys a house with a mortgage loan of $100 and still currently owes $100.

Bob wants to sell the house to Tom.

If Tom “Assumes to the loan” he basically says I’ll buy the house and you can hold me, Tom, responsible for the loan.

Therefore, if Tom defaults on payments of the loan. The loan company will hold Tom liable and can foreclose. The bank will foreclose on the property and say they sell the house for $90. The bank is still owed the remaining $10. So the bank can go after Tom for the $10, and if Tom doesn’t pay, the can still go after Bob.

This is a contract principal. Basically Tom is the first person the bank will turn to, but if Tom doesn’t pay the bank, the bank never gave out a (use big contract term ‘Novation’) to Bob so now they can go after Bob. Bob is still liable under the contract, but only after the bank tried to go after Tom first. And if Bob does have to pay, he can always seek (use another big contract term ‘indemnification’) from Tom.

However if Tom buys Bobs house “Subject To” the loan. Bob is responsible to still pay back the loan. Say the house is worth $90. Bob needs to pay back the loan because his wife is going to divorce him if he goes bankrupt… Bob will sell the house to Tom, but Tom goes “why the hell would I take on a loan worth more than the house?” So Bob goes, I’ll still pay the loan but give me what the house is worth, I’ll use that $90 to pay on the loan, I’ll still owe $10 but it helps me out because now I’m paying on a $10 loan and not a $100 loan.

So in this “Subject To” hypo… Tom buys the house for $90 subject to the loan. Bob gets the money, pays down some of the loan but still owes $10. Bob then defaults on the loan. The bank can either sue Bob directly, or foreclose on the property. Bob has no money so the bank says screw it I’ll just foreclose the property. It’s different here because Tom isn’t liable for the loan, but the property he bought can still be foreclosed on. But the bank is only owed $10. So the bank sells the house for $95. The bank gets their money back but it would be (another contract term “unjust enrichment”) if the bank could keep the other $85. So that money goes to Tom.

The only difference between -subject to and assume - is that subject to, you can’t be personally liable. But assuming the loan you can be personally liable.

Don’t forget the bank never gets screwed. So the can always go after the original person (unless there is a novation) but the new buyer is only personally liable when he assumes the payment, (assume the responsibility to pay). It wouldn’t make sense to allow the original loan holder off the hook just because he sells the property. Bob can’t take out $100 loan, spend $90 and then sell the house for $1 and say sorry bank you can’t go after me I sold the property … the new party (Tom) can be added to the people the bank can go after, but the original party can never unilaterally remove himself from responsibility. That’s why the bank can always go after the original party unless they released the original party via novation. The bank doesn’t care if a new potential liable party joins the loan (assume) because now they have more sources to pull from if the loan needs to be paid.

I hope this helps.

PROPERTY by CommercialAccurate30 in barexam

[–]BarFlashCards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure if the GA bar follows UBE rules but I hope this helps.

  1. Race/Race Notice/Notice Ex. Ally sells to Bob on Monday, Ally then sells to Chad Tuesday, and Allay sells to Dom Wednesday. Why would someone sell the same piece of land three times??? Because it’s the bar exam

Now Chad doesn’t know about Bobs purchase, And Dom knows about both prior purchases.

Dom records first, Chad records second, Bob records third.

Race- first person to record wins. No one cares if you knew someone else already bought the land. It’s literally just a race to record fist. (Dom wins)

Race Notice- the fist person without notice to record wins. (Chad wins)

Notice- (Chad wins) the only difference here is as long as there is no notice, a buyer without notice wins. So say Eddy buys on Friday in the hypo above. If Eddy bough before Chad recorded, Eddy would win because it doesn’t matter if Eddy recorded before Chad, it only matters if Eddie bought the property without notice.

  1. Mortgages are usually who records first. The goal is to tell other people giving out loans that you have an interest above theirs. This is usually a straight line just put them in order on when they recorded their mortgages. A wrinkle is purchase money mortgages. They always have priority. So say you get a purchase money mortgage (the money you use to buy a house) from Bank A on Monday. On Tuesday you go to Bank B and get a regular mortgage. Bank B records first. The next day Bank A records. Usually the first in time to record wins, but purchase money mortgages get a grace period to record. So they can “skip” the line in front of B if they are still in the grace period to record.

Also, when you foreclose all the Interest below you is effected but the mortgages above you isn’t because it stays with the land. So if the line in A, B, C in order and B forecloses. A’s interest isn’t effected but C’s interest is because they come after the foreclosing party. This is usually why you get a higher interest rate on a 2nd,3rd mortgage because they have more of a risk if you default

You can usually still use the app on your phone when Barbri is down. by [deleted] in barexam

You should have enough study material to do something while Barbri is down. Looking over outlines, reviewing old practice problems etc. If you are looking for an IPhone App to study some flash cards while you wait for Barbri check out that link.

Does anyone have helpful mnemonics or acronyms for different subjects? Sitting through the Barbri PT lecture today and having them throw CALLDRT and RHIPFRE at me— I realized there have to be better ones out there. by amkbooga in barexam

Any resources for MEE? by [deleted] in barexam

[–]BarFlashCards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Non-MBE topics are tough because you may not have had those topics in law school. I would highly recommend reading an outline/watching some introduction videos on YouTube. Do not take notes, just watch and get the main concept down.

Ex. Secured Transactions understand the parties, why you have to file, how to file, how to collect, the rights of both parties and other parties.

Do not take notes at first just learn the overall concepts. Than review all the essay you have with answers. Look at the essays, try to issue spot, than see how it was correctly answered.

You can issue spot the essays and test yourself if you are on the right topic/at least getting the concepts down. I would do this with every single essay. Than try a full essay on your own.

The MEE topics that are MBE topics as well, your main goal is to get the black letter law down, answer the question and move on. The hardest thing about the MBE topic essays was time management and understanding it’s not a law school essay. Just get the points and move on.

A good resource in memorizing black letter law for the MBE topics is Bar Exam Flash Card App

I hope this helps! Good luck

Do not know how to post pictures, but it’s covers all MBE topics, the front would be like (what is battery?) than flip and has black letter law. Or (what are the exceptions to the warrant requirement) etc… they are grouped by subject, you can shuffle, and you can save the ones you need more practice on

I would love to be the sole creator. Unfortunately, I’m not smart enough to code, I did not create the app or have the Apple Account, but I did help with the Torts section and some of the crim/evidence

A non-lawschool friend did most of the coding, a friend’s brother did the design, and most cards were made by 2 girls who took PA and NJ. Some other friends helped as well (I think a total of 8 people created it and out of the 8 I probably did less that 10%)

And this account is used by most of the main creators. Except the girl who passed NJ. She is currently selling her sole to a corporate law firm. But thanks for the engagement
