JBA Oral Exam study plan

Map the Civil Law syllabus into its major blocks (general part, obligations, property, family, succession) and allocate study days to each block by weight

Draft a one-page outline of the general part covering legal capacity, legal acts, validity requirements, and defects of consent

Solve 10 short hypotheticals on validity and nullity, writing a three-sentence answer for each using a fixed issue-rule-application structure

Build a personal glossary of 20 core Civil Law terms with a one-line definition and a concrete example for each

Work through obligations: formation, performance, breach, and remedies, producing a decision tree that links each breach type to its remedy

Compare at least five contract types (sale, lease, mandate, loan, employment) on formation, main obligations, and termination

Answer 12 practice questions on property rights, distinguishing ownership, possession, and limited real rights in writing

Rehearse aloud two full oral answers on contract liability, timing each at under four minutes

Summarize family and succession rules into a single comparison table covering marital property regimes, forced heirship, and intestate order

Draft a 300-word oral answer on how a contract is formed and when it becomes binding, then trim it to 200 words without losing legal points

Identify the commercial law topics that overlap with Civil Law (commercial obligations, security, sale) and list the divergences explicitly

Complete 10 mixed Civil and Commercial questions under a 25-minute timer and log every error with its cause

Outline commercial law into business entities, commercial acts, securities and negotiable instruments, insolvency, and competition

Explain aloud the differences among the main business forms on formation, liability, and governance, without notes

Trace the life of a negotiable instrument from issue to payment, noting each endorsement requirement and its effect

Build a one-page insolvency flow covering commencement, claims filing, ranking of creditors, and closure

Answer 15 practice questions on commercial law and redo the missed ones after a 48-hour gap

Map civil procedure chronologically from filing to final judgment, listing the required content of a claim and the grounds for rejection

Distinguish jurisdiction rules (subject matter, territorial, agreed, transferred) using eight short fact patterns

Summarize evidence rules: burden of proof, admissibility, and the effect of failing to rebut

Draft a model oral answer on appeal and retrial, stating which errors are correctable at each stage

Outline criminal law into general principles (legality, culpability, attempt, complicity) and specific offenses, marking the highest-frequency offense groups

Explain the elements of the main offenses against persons and property in a fixed elements-conduct-result framework

Work through eight hypotheticals on complicity and attempt, writing the outcome for each participant separately

Compare justification and excuse defenses and state the consequence of each for liability

Map criminal procedure from investigation to final judgment, marking the stages where judicial authorization is required

Summarize the rights of the suspect and accused at each stage and the remedies for their violation

Distinguish the roles of police, prosecutor, and court in pre-trial and trial phases with a comparison table

Answer 12 practice questions on coercive measures and evidentiary exclusion, then restate each missed rule aloud

Outline constitutional law around separation of powers, fundamental rights and their limits, and judicial review of legislation

Outline administrative law around administrative acts, legality review, discretion, and state liability

Integrate the two outlines into a single table showing where constitutional limits constrain administrative action

Run two full mock oral sessions of 45 minutes each across all seven domains, scoring each answer on structure, rule accuracy, and conclusion

Review the accumulated error logs and rewrite every recurring error as a one-line rule card
