## Description

Complete prep for all three scored components of the California Bar Exam: the five written ESSAYS (13 subjects, Business Associations, Civil Procedure, Community Property, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law & Procedure, Evidence, Professional Responsibility, Real Property, Remedies, Torts, Trusts, Wills & Succession), the PERFORMANCE TEST, and the multiple-choice MBE (7 subjects). Trigger whenever someone is studying for the California bar (or the MBE) and says things like: "give me the rule for [issue]", "big issues in [subject]", "drill/quiz me on [topic]", "MBE questions on [subject]", "teach me [doctrine]", "build an attack outline", "grade my essay", "memorizable paragraph for [issue]", "performance test approach", or "make a study plan", or names any tested essay/MBE subject in a study, memorization, drilling, or practice-question context. Also trigger when a student uploads a practice essay, PT, or question set to be graded or turned into rule blocks. When in doubt during bar prep, trigger.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# California Bar Complete

End-to-end prep for the **written and multiple-choice** halves of the California
Bar Exam, weighted roughly 50/50: **five one-hour essays** (any of 13 subjects),
**one 90-minute Performance Test**, and the **200-question MBE** (7 subjects).
This skill centralizes the black-letter **rules**, **pre-written memorizable IRAC
paragraphs**, **MBE practice**, and **exam-day strategy** a student needs.

Core philosophy: **memorize a bank of issue paragraphs in advance**, then on exam
day **spot the issue and transcribe the paragraph**, filling the application
sentence with the facts in front of you; for the MBE, **drill original questions**
until the rules and their traps are automatic. The banks make both fast.

## Three components

| Component | What it is | Where the material lives |
|-----------|-----------|--------------------------|
| **Essays** | 5 essays drawn from 13 subjects | `references/essays/` (attack outlines + IRAC rule blocks) + `references/standard-paragraphs/` (memorizable paragraphs) |
| **Performance Test** | 1 closed-universe lawyering task (90 min) | `references/pt/performance-test.md` |
| **MBE** | 200 MCQs across 7 subjects | `references/mbe/` (method + 7 subject files) |

Exam strategy for all components: `references/exam/exam-day.md` (timing, IRAC
discipline, issue-spotting, triage).
