How "My Legs" and "Heluva" Can Help with Exams

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | April 14, 2008 - 10:30

When studying for the test or the bar exam, you might want to use mnemonics. Some examples:

My Legs for the statute of frauds.

Marriage
Year
Land
Executor
Goods
Suretyship

Heluva for adverse possession:

Hostile
Exclusive
Lasting
Uninterrupted
Visible
Actual

There are many more mnemonics on the Bar Exam Blogspot, A Girl Walks Into a Bar Exam , The 3-L Word and JD Jinx.

Do you have any mnemonics you would like to share? Post a comment !

Thanks, Jennifer. Professor Goshien told me that they used OCEAN for adverse possession when he was in law school. It's still around today, and appears to still be good. See AmJur2d, Adverse Possession.
