About us
Meet Jacquelyn Covington, J.D.
Author & Founder, Flash Bar LLC
Jacquelyn Covington is the author and founder of Flash Bar LLC, a company dedicated to making bar preparation simple, affordable, and effective for every student. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Human Resources Management and Operations from the University of Arizona Global Campus and later received her Juris Doctor degree from Trinity Law School in Santa Ana, California. During law school, Jacquelyn excelled in Moot Court and was an active member of the Women's Legal Society, where she supported and mentored fellow students.
Known for being a lifelong learner — someone who could easily be a forever student — Jacquelyn has always been passionate about helping others understand complex material in a way that feels intuitive and manageable. As a former law student herself, she spent thousands of dollars searching for clear, well-structured outlines and study tools, but none of the materials felt quite right. They were either overwhelming, incomplete, or lacked the practical guidance she needed.
Out of that frustration, Flash Bar was born. She created her own outlines, flashcards, rule statements, checklists, and exam strategies — organized, simplified, visually clean, and specifically tailored for California students. Today, Flash Bar LLC reflects her commitment to making legal education accessible and empowering students with study materials designed by someone who truly understands what it's like to be in their shoes.

Reviews
What examinees say.
Flash Bar’s outlines were the first materials that actually made sense to me. The flashcards alone got me through the MBE subjects I was terrified of.
Amanda R.
California Bar Passer, July 2024
I failed once using generic commercial outlines. Flash Bar’s California-specific rule statements and checklists were the difference the second time around.

Affordable, clean, and actually organized the way the exam is tested. It felt like Jacquelyn built these specifically for someone as overwhelmed as I was.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Everything students ask most before getting started.
What is included in Flash Bar study materials?
Every Flash Bar package includes simplified outlines for the 14 tested California Bar subjects, high-yield flashcards, exam-ready rule statements, issue-spotting checklists, and essay and Performance Test strategy guides. Materials are organized the way the California Bar actually tests them rather than the way casebooks present them.
Which subjects does Flash Bar cover?
All 14 California Bar essay subjects: Business Associations, Civil Procedure, Community Property, Constitutional Law, Contracts and Sales, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Evidence, Professional Responsibility, Real Property, Remedies, Torts, Trusts, and Wills and Succession. Federal and California distinctions are flagged separately where they diverge.
Are the materials specific to the California Bar Exam?
Yes. Flash Bar is built specifically for California. Rule statements include California distinctions alongside the majority and federal rules, and the essay approach guides follow California grading conventions and timing. Much of the substantive law is tested nationwide, so the outlines are also useful for law school coursework and other jurisdictions.
How much does Flash Bar cost?
Packages start at $149 for Essentials, $299 for the Complete Bundle, and $599 for Premium Mentorship, which adds one-on-one strategy calls and essay reviews. Individual subjects are available a la carte for $35 each, and a dedicated 1L Foundations package is $179.
Can I buy a single subject instead of a full package?
Yes. Any of the 14 subjects can be purchased individually for $35, which includes that subject’s outline, flashcards, rule statements, and issue-spotting checklist. This is a common choice for students who only need to shore up one or two weak areas.
Who writes the Flash Bar materials?
All materials are written by Jacquelyn Covington, J.D., the founder of Flash Bar LLC. She earned her Juris Doctor from Trinity Law School in Santa Ana, California, and created these outlines and flashcards for her own bar preparation after spending thousands of dollars on commercial materials that were overwhelming or incomplete.
Do you offer 1L and law school study materials?
Yes. The 1L Foundations package covers the subjects typically studied during the first year of law school — Contracts, Torts, Real Property, Criminal Law, Civil Procedure, and Constitutional Law — with outlines, flashcards, issue-spotting checklists, and a semester study calendar.
Does Flash Bar guarantee that I will pass the bar exam?
No. Flash Bar materials are academic study aids for educational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice. No passing score or particular result is guaranteed, and Flash Bar LLC is not affiliated with or endorsed by the State Bar of California or the National Conference of Bar Examiners.
