Emanuel Law in a Flash: Multistate Bar Exam, Third Edition, provides students with a deep and thorough review of the black letter law in a rapid-fire question-answer format that not only aids recall, but also ensures students have a sufficiently nuanced understanding of all subjects and topics eligible for testing on the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE). Author Mary Basick, an expert in bar exam preparation, has helped thousands of students achieve success in law school and on the MBE. The Third Edition is updated to reflect the most current MBE-testing trends and includes all recent changes in the black letter law. Key features include: More than 1500 cards provide a comprehensive review of the black letter law in the seven subjects tested on the MBE—Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law, Evidence, Property, and Torts. Flashcards are designed to maximize the depth of rule understanding with each rule broken up into subparts where necessary to provide a thorough rule review. Hypothetical questions are included to ensure students have sufficient understanding and can apply the law appropriately to fact scenarios. Tips provide guidance on how rules are both tested and used as common distractor answers. Flashcards include examples and explanatory notes where helpful for better rule understanding. Cards are designed so students can isolate and target specific subjects and topics, or combine the cards for a more challenging blind, mixed review. Best practices for answering MBE questions and proven tips for improving MBE performance are provided in the accompanying booklet.
