Re: BarBri constantly contradicts itself
I've found that most of the time it's not so much that barbri contradicts itself but that the explanations suck. When this happens, the explanations are written for an audience that already knows the material. E.g. "it's X because Y. Therefore B, C, D are wrong." no, explain why B C D are wrong and address the wrong ideas of the examinee.

157 on the full day. "D is not guilty of larceny because he lacked the requisite intent. the intent to deprive must exist at the time of the taking"
what. Am I crazy or is this literally the opposite of the continuing trespass rule.

Re: BarBri constantly contradicts itself
Continuing trespass rule is like the exception. If you take something and at the time you take it, you don't have the intent to deprive, it's not larceny. But if you take it and then form the intent to take it, it's larceny under continuing trespass.ellewoods123 wrote:157 on the full day.

I read it that way at first too. But I think she means that was from question 157.

Re: BarBri constantly contradicts itself
The only things I've personally noticed barbri toeing the line on are judge ordering a new trial, and whether or not there has been a novation
But like most barbri questions they seem to be more about getting you to understand the material than being representative of an actual mbe question, so it doesn't bother me all that much. Barbri has to write a shitload of questions and rewrite every year when there is a change so it makes sense some could slip through the cracks
The MBE writers only need to come up with 190 good questions, plus they test them ahead of time and put them through reviews and shit, so I'm kinda expecting them to avoid the rare barbri ambiguity
