Straight facts right here that I had to relearn from an advanced legal writing professor. Here (sign post to start analysis) major tip! I love this video. The tips Michael has given, BARBRI has NEVER addressed and will never will. Studicata is on to being the next big bar prep company and Michael is the only one that can plain such complex legal issues in such plain language. I love he uses a whiteboard and shows us a visual in his videos vs. barbri talking at you for 2-4rs with dumb fill in the blanks.

[@Missionbellfiduciary777]

Simply put, no other bar preps come close to Studicata.

[@studicata]

Agreed!

[@adebolabello4546]

I concur.

[@lotusgrl444]

im sorry the voice, though🤯🤯

[@pamscasa]

The best thing I've heard...I've taken the exam multiple times over a long stretch of years. Thank you.

[@FeliciaLee-o2z]

1. stick to IRAC 2. keep is short and concise 3. make your examiner to give you points easier: use header, bold, and subsection 4. read the call first and carefully 5. time management

[@AntiMasonic93]

Nice video! Promissory Estoppel is a substitute for consideration when dealing with contract formation. If consideration fails, turn to Promissory Estoppel.

[@jdmans]

1. answer question 2. no conclusions without the word because. I need baby steps to do this part. good advice thanks on conclusions, the words HERE and BECAUSE. I am pitiful on essays. so this was a great start-have july 2024, will use every tip possible. The bar graders as said is 10 min max and they are paid per page.

[@FeliciaLee-o2z]

1. know what your examiner is looking for 2. stick to IRAC 3. make it easy for the examiner easy: use header, bold font, subsection to organize the essay 4. read the call carefully 5. time management

[@SqueegeeSquanch]

I agree with the majority of this video except for what you said about reading the call of the question. Determining whether there was a breach first requires establishing whether a contract was formed in the first place. If the call of the question is asking whether there was a breach, it's probably asking you to analyze whether there was a contract in the first place. Promissory estoppel is an equitable doctrine the Courts use to enforce an otherwise unenforceable agreement - it's not necessarily a remedy within itself. A brief PE / "Is there a contract?" analysis for a breach question will get you points in FL. Not sure about other jdx / test essays though.

[@hyojinlee]

Thank you for this video!!

[@josephfayia9174]

Great effort! Thanks.

[@studicata]

No problem!

[@caringlovetv6998]

Yes

[@CarlosAntonio-ks5ym]

Where can I find the bar exam test ?

[@reidkennedy6916]

IRAC? I thought that was for law school finals and CREAC was preferred on the Bar.

[@studicata]

Whatever you are most comfortable with is the best option. The bar examiners don't care so long as you are applying the law to the facts in a way that makes sense.

[@foodiekariyawasam1111]

Thank you so much

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

Excellent points!

[@ALPHABARN]

Great tips! Do you have past essays exams with model answers?

[@studicata]

You can download loads of free MEE questions and analyses from the NCBE at: www.ncbex.org/exams/mee/preparing/

[@ataed2005]

What is CREAC?

[@komaljeetkaur7199]

CRAC - Conclusion, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion, but like Michael said in another previous video its best to focus more on analysis than being too conclusory.

[@same2097]

Where did you go to Law School?

[@trushnakhatri3405]

Why do you wink a lot?
