Vera
Verbal Flashcards

Formation, breach, remedies — stated precisely.

The subject where a missing element costs the whole answer.

You know contracts broadly and lose points on the elements.

What Vera actually is

A phone call with someone who is not there. You say the thing out loud, they answer the way a real person would, and you get to do it again — as many times as it takes, with nobody listening.

“What if I am bad at it?”Everyone is, on the first one. That is the entire reason it happens here and not there.
“What if I do not know what to say?”She asks first and follows up on whatever you answer. You never start from a blank page.
“What if it is awkward?”It is, for about twenty seconds. Then it is a conversation, and nobody heard the twenty seconds.

Not practising doesn’t save you anything.

The ticket, the evening, the weeks of applying — all of it is spent before anyone says a word. The practice is the only cheap part, and the only part that changes how the rest goes.

What she'll actually ask

She asks these the way a real person would, then follows up on whatever you say.

  1. Is this a UCC or common law contract, and why does it matter?
  2. State the elements of a valid offer.
  3. Was there acceptance here?
  4. What remedy applies, and how is it measured?
  5. Which element did you just leave out?
More about this one

Contracts is heavily element-driven, which means partial rule statements score badly even when the overall reasoning is sound. It is also the subject where the UCC and common law diverge in ways that are easy to blur when reading and impossible to fudge out loud. Vera drills formation, defenses, breach, and remedies, and asks which body of law governs before anything else.

What she listens for

Governing law firstUCC or common law changes the analysis and should be your first move.

“I dropped an element on nearly every rule and never noticed until something made me say them out loud.”

Everyone is, on the first one. That is the entire reason it happens here and not there.

What if I do not know what to say?

She asks the first question and follows up on whatever you answer. You never start from a blank page.
