One I'll never forget for contracts, statute of frauds; "MY LEGS": Marriage, contracts for more than one Year, Land, Executor (or estate), Goods (over $500), Surety;

I've been trying to come up with some good ones for possessory estates in property, and intentional torts in torts.

I never bothered with mneumonics because I tend to have more success memorizing the actual rules without the use of mneumonics. Crazy I know, but it works for me.

The only mneumonic I recall is BARRK from criminal law. For felony murder, certain specifically enumerated felonies usually result in 1st degree murder conditions. They are Burglary, Arson, Rape, Robbery, and Kidnapping (BARRK).

Good one! I've been trying to come up with something for torts but that definitely works!
My property and tort exams are closed book, so any little thing helps, and mnemonic phrasing really, really help me.
