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.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Everything students ask most before getting started.

What is included in Flash Bar study materials?

Essentials includes simplified outlines for the 14 tested California Bar subjects, flashcards, exam-ready rule statements, and issue-spotting checklists. The Complete Bundle adds saved answers and notes, spaced-repetition reviews, accuracy tracking, a My Progress dashboard, and the Performance Test strategy manual.

What is the difference between Essentials and Complete?

Both plans unlock all 14 subjects. Essentials lets you study the outlines, flashcards, rule statements, and checklists. Complete adds study tools that remember your work: type and save answers, keep notes on each card, rate cards Again, Hard, Good, or Easy so they come back on a spaced-repetition schedule, and track your accuracy by subject. It also includes the Performance Test manual.

Can I upgrade from Essentials to Complete later?

Yes. Sign in, open your dashboard, and choose Upgrade to Complete. You pay only the difference between the two plans, and the extra features unlock as soon as payment goes through.

Can I try the flashcards before buying?

Yes. The free demo on the homepage lets you pick a subject, write your answer, and reveal the real rule from the Flash Bar deck. No account is needed.

How do I get my materials after I pay?

Create an account or sign in before checkout. Once payment is confirmed, everything in your plan unlocks automatically on your dashboard, and you receive an order confirmation by email along with a receipt from Stripe.

How do I pay?

Checkout is handled securely by Stripe. You can pay by card, and Apple Pay or Google Pay where your device supports them. Flash Bar never sees or stores your card details.

I forgot my password. What do I do?

Choose Forgot password on the sign-in page and enter the email on your account. We will send you a link to set a new password. You can also change your password any time from Account settings.

Is it a subscription?

No. Every plan is a one-time payment with no recurring charges.

What is your refund policy?

If something is wrong with your order, email us and we will make it right. Refunded orders lose access to the materials they unlocked.

How do I contact Flash Bar?

Email flashbarllc@gmail.com. Replies to your order confirmation email also come straight to us.

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?

Essentials is $149 and the Complete Bundle is $299, both one-time payments with no subscription. 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.
