Re: Bar Mnemonics Thread
Something similar might already be here, but it's so close to the bar that I don't necessarily want to go through all of the pages.
When the parol evidence rule doesn't apply: SCAM FRAUD (sort of gives you a flavor of when it does not apply, with the exception of a couple, like Subsequent/Collateral Agreements and Reformation).
Subsequent Agreements
Collateral Agreements
Absence of Consideration
Mistake
Fraud
Reformation
Attacks on Validity
Undue Influence
Duress

Re: Bar Mnemonics Thread
A lot of my mnemonics were based off of a hobby of mine: tennis (I watch it and play it). For instance, when I was trying to devise a way to remember the order of payment for creditors of insolvent estates (Florida Wills), it went like this:
1. Expenses of administration
2. Funeral expenses up to $60K
3. Medicaid
4. Expenses of last illness
5. Family allowance
6. Child support
7. Decedent's business debts
8. Other claims
1. Andy ("A" for Administration)
2. Fucking ("F" for Funeral)
3. Murray ("M" for Medicaid)
4. Might ("M" for Medical/illness)
5. Fight ("F" for Family allowance)
6. Cilic ("C" for Child support)
7. Djokovic ("D" for debts)
8. and Ostapenko ("O" for other)
lol
