Inside the study experienceFree sample

Contracts · Consideration

A promise. But a contract?

Nina promises her neighbor $80 as a birthday gift. The neighbor gives nothing in exchange and takes no action in reliance. Nina later changes her mind.

Under the ordinary common-law consideration rule, is this gift promise enforceable as a contract?

Before you get started.

What am I purchasing?

The Essentials package, with access to Study Lab across all 14 subjects. This page highlights Study Lab: original lessons, application questions, fact-change challenges, writing prompts, and scored mini-tests. It is not the separately sold Complete Bar Exam Prep package or a licensed MBE question bank.

Is this a subscription?

No. Essentials is a one-time purchase, not a recurring subscription. You can review your order and any applicable taxes at checkout before paying.

How do I access my lessons?

Create an account or sign in during checkout. After payment is confirmed, open Study Lab from your dashboard. Paid lessons stay locked until your account has the corresponding purchase access. There is no separate approval step for Study Lab.

Is this a complete bar review course?

No. Study Lab is a supplemental learning collection, not comprehensive exam coverage or a full-length simulated exam. Use it alongside your broader preparation and current authoritative sources. No passing score or exam outcome is guaranteed.

Who created the material?

Flash Bar was founded by Jacquelyn Covington, J.D., who is not a licensed attorney. Study Lab is AI-assisted educational content, not attorney-authored or comprehensively legally verified. Its source links include Cornell LII and California Legislative Information. It is not legal advice.

Are these official bar exam questions?

No. Study Lab uses newly written fictional scenarios, not NCBE or State Bar of California exam questions or selected answers. Flash Bar is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by either organization.
