Michael has been hired as an attorney at a law firm. However, his contract remains valid only if he passes the bar exam within a year of joining the firm. The law firm is not obligated to retain the contract if Michael does not pass the bar exam. This is an example of a condition precedent.

True of False

FALSE

Explanation:

A condition precedent is a legal term describing a condition or event that must come to pass before a specific contract is considered in effect or any obligations are expected of either party.

Michael's case is not an example of condition precedent because Michael has already been hired as an attorney at the firm, he only needs to keep his contract valid by passing the bar exam within one year of joining the firm. So if he fails the exam, then it is not precedent because the contract has already been given, it just won't be retained.

For it to be a condition precedent, then it means it is either he passes the bar exam and he gets hired or he fails the exam and not get hired. Therefore, Michael's case is not an example of condition precedent, the right answer is FALSE.
