Which of the following is NOT included in the BARF FLEM mnemonic as listed offenses?

• A. Burglary
• B. Assault
• C. Robbery
• D. Murder (1st degree)

Answer: (D)

BARF FLEM is a memory aid used to recall a specific set of offenses that law students are often asked to memorize for the bar. The letters map to a group of common felonies: Burglary, Assault, Robbery, and then additional items that start with F, L, E, and M (such as a type of felony starting with F, Larceny, Embezzlement, and a crime beginning with M). Murder, specifically first-degree murder, does not appear in this list. The mnemonic is designed to cover these non-homicide felonies, while homicide is treated separately in exam questions. So Murder (1st degree) is not included in BARF FLEM.
