You make me feel comfortable about law school. Great work.
Hi. Please can you answer criminal law question in IRAC form
Thank you! This is the first time someone has answered my question about this so clearly and succinctly. :)
this video deserves a greater following. Thank you so much for the inputs.
Superb way of teaching ever.
wow this is a great video. Thank you for all the breakdowns. 1L here just trying to stay afloat
Very very useful and gives opportunity for legal brain stroming
When I was a young solicitor many years ago, the first partner for whom I worked explained that a letter of advice or a submission should always be written taking the same form as a judgment. First you set out the question you have been asked. Secondly, you set out the material facts, in chronological order. Thirdly you set out the relevant legislation or case law on the topic. Lastly you provide an analysis of how the legislation and/or the relevant case law applies to the facts which provides the answer to the question you have asked to answer. If the matter is a complex one, you might find it advantageous to insert a summary of your conclusions, just before reciting the facts. I suggest that under the heading “Summary of Advice” you say something like, “Subject to the detailed discussion below, I summarise my advice as follows”. Then you list your conclusions. When you are writing an opinion for a client, it is your conclusion that counts. So in many cases it is wise to put that up front. If you want, you can always put the rest of the advice in an appendix. This makes it easier for non-lawyers to read just the summary, whilst knowing that they can show others the legal reasoning if required. This opening statement of your conclusion is also a very good thing to put in your answer in a legal exam. Make it easy for the marker to see you got the answer by stating it at the beginning. “In my opinion the rule against spitting was not violated in this case. I set out my reasons for this conclusion below.”

As a pro se litigator I have not found any information on whatisan error and how to find them in a real transcript from a trial Court could you make a video on this
Thank you, helpful indeed.
Nice clear presentation and explanation. Thank you
I love you, your teaching is superb, where are you based, you can help me a lot can you give me your number and email please.

Many thanks❤️❤ your channel is definitely underrated! As a foreign student studying US law, your videos are such a big help & amazing study resources!! Thank you again :)
super lesson keep going🎉🎉🎉
Excellent explanation
Wow real good teaching
This is a very solid video! I have a Ph.D. I have a friend of 40 years who graduated from law school about that same time. I asked him how in the world did he do so well in law school. His response was: "I used the IRAC method."I had never heard of it. He explained it to me, and it's organization made sense. He said he also would write out (by hand, on paper), the professor's lecture (outline/brief?) about 20 times! He says this visual/hand coordination become redundant to the point that he was able to "see it" when taking the single semester exam. He successfully passed the bar exam with no problems as well. What I'm passing on to you was passed on to him by upper classmates, who too performed at the top of their class. I hope this helps prospective lawyers. Good luck!
You do not have as much views as you should have. Enjoyed listening to you. These videos on legal analysis have really helped me. Thank you , all the way from Zambia 🇿🇲
How i wish i had watched this earlier
Excellent presentation
Glad you liked it!
the rules would be considered the statutes with the elements needed to satisfy the statute?
Generally, rules can come from written laws (statutes, regulations, etc.) or from case synthesis (common law). In either scenario, you can break rules into sub-rules or elements. Does that help?
@@lawschoolplaybook yes that helps!! I am just confused a little on the sub rules. For example, an element of crim liability is a guilty mind. That would be the rule but then sub rule would be Penal Code 2.01 that says "no person shall purposely, knowingly, recklessly, negligently, xyz." Right?
@niikas22 It sounds like you might be reversing the rule and subrule. For example, the BIG rule for something like burglary might be "breaking and entering the dwelling of another at night with the intent to commit a felony therein." The elements, each of which would have its own subrule (or definition), might then be breaking | entering | dwelling of another | night | intent. Does that help? You are breaking down a big rule into smaller component parts to see if each is met, so intent is typically a smaller element (or one piece) of a bigger rule....
@@lawschoolplaybook OMGGG Yes!! that makes absolute sense!!! That is exactly what my crim law teacher was trying to demonstrate to the class on Monday and I was clueless. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
So glad it helped!! @@niikas22

You got a new subscriber ! This provided a good analogy ! I should know because I'm from Texas ;-)
Awesome! Thank you!
Oh my, you do not understand how useful this was to me. I am a 1st year Law student and was struggling understanding this and you finally untied the knot that was locked in my head. The story of your son summed it up for me. Thankyou very much :)
I am thrilled it was helpful!
Please post more often !! Your channel provides good insights into law!
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you so much!
VERY HELPFUL👍
Although she intended to spot water from her mouth because she was choking, there’s no evidence that she intended to spit saliva from her mouth.
when i first saw the case I was thinking of battery negligence, wrongder is the brother, or promise from contract that is not a deal, the swimming guardian said sister violated the swmming pool's rule, I was so confused...I got clearly understand about why in later, the issue is the first light came into my mind was never spitting... totally go to the wrong way, so stress on myself for this subject.
Thank you so much; this is gold!
The goal is to think like a judge.
Judge, lawyer, clergy... I've given your comment a lot of thought. The reason I dropped out of both law and religion is that each required that I give my most precious and absolutely priceless one, identifying "worldview" over to a particular way of being or thinking. I make my family's humble living now working 24/7 as a paralegal, with the day job being for legal aid. It was the least evil job I could find. All of this is just to say and get to the point of stating that he or she who is above a judge is the natural, normal, simple, sometimes conformist-sometimes not, awake human being.The goal is to think like THAT. So Thank you so much for your comment and all that it has brought out of me. It allowed me to clarify what I'd been thinking about for many years now..
Please upload more videos.
Thank you Professor
This is by far the most helpful and easy step by step way to connect factual information and the law . Taking law through distance learning . Your video will be referred to as often to remind me how IRAC should really work. Thank you so much.
Very useful!!!! Thank you!
Thank you very much! I feel more confident to use the concept!
Hello! I was struggling to understand this and your video helped, thank you so much!
The way you guided is just awesome 🎀thanks a bunch Kindly make it clear that can we actually add this component of Your Ideas in a law school assignment or is just for our own briefs and understanding!
Does Black,s Law Dictionary devide everything by subject or by section?
I’m currently doing my Bsc. in CJ. And this is extremely helpful. Generally speaking, I think this can be applied to almost any essay exams 🎊 thanks so much
Loved this video! are you on audea? Most of my audio is consumed there and would appreciate the audio version of your content on that platform.
Excellent video.
Excellent video.
For law school fact patterns can a law student derive a rule from a statute and then apply a rule from a statute to analyze a fact pattern using the Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion format in the same way that a law school student would derive a rule from a case coming from case law and do the same thing that I described above? Disclaimer: What I wrote here today is not legal advice of any kind whatsoever. It is not intended to be, was not intended to be, and should not be interpreted as such. I am not a lawyer. I have never and would never claim to be one.
Excellent video.
Excellent video.
Do you have to quote directly from the fact pattern when you answer the questions?
Generally, it is helpful to use the words from the facts when you write your answer. Professors spend a great deal of time writing those facts, and answers become less precise with paraphrasing.
