What method do you use on your essay exams? If not one of these three, let me know what is working for you.
Excellent video.
We use irac though i don't know what to write in the application
It takes practice. Then you need feedback, and then rewrite it. The more you do, the better you get at it.
@@Learnlawbetter thank you
In my paralegal courses we used IRAC. This was when we did everything manually with books etc. In Law School we did CIRAC which is more close to CRAC. Never saw CREAC until this video .
CRAHNC. Conclusion, rule, analysis, however (counter argument), nevertheless (counter-counter-argument), conclusion. Probably quite close to CREAC but this method ensures I don't forget to argue both sides. This plus Anki flashcards is primarily how I've stayed near the top of my class with quite limited time for full-time law school (20-30 hours a week on average).
Do you do this every time, are do you skip H and N when none make sense to use?
@@Learnlawbetter I use this formula *almost* all of the time. Most of my professors have highly valued counterarguments, I think I've only taken 1 or 2 exams where it did not made sense to use this basic formula. Thanks for the videos!
@@Learnlawbetter If I ever decide to attend law school and successfully take and pass the state bar, would the judge attempt to deny me a liscense to practice law on the grounds of the existence of a few different types of disabalaties?
The legal profession will evaluate the disability to see if it will potentially hurt the client. For example, someone with kleptomania will almost certainly be denied admission to the bar.
Hey man, your videos is very powerful, could you make longer videos please.
Thanks 😊
Hi Professor! I took my Torts final and wanted to say this video of yours helped me a lot with my organization on the exam. On that exam we had 2 parts. Part one had 25 short answer questions (60%) where we needed to write ~1 paragraph per question, and part two (40%) with a 3-page fact pattern and 3 questions, one of which was an open-ended "identify all liability claims." I answered each question on the exam and managed to find 8 claims of liability, but only wrote about 2 (I did list the suits that would be brought and under what claims, but only very briefly). I made the choice to complete a full negligence analysis on one claim of liability over addressing 4-5 issues with a paragraph. The other issue I managed to write a paragraph about, and I bulletpointed two more claims of liability with potential counter-claims and defenses for each argument I made.
In your experience as a professor (and I know this is different for everyone), would you have preferred brief 1-paragraph arguments on each claim of liability, or the route I went in showing that I understood how to make a full negligence analysis? Did I make a good call?
On this type of exam, you have to manage your time effectively. Suppose you had 1.5 hours for the 8 issues, then divided that time by 8. You need to not only spot the issue, but then provide a rule and some analysis. If you define negligence once, then when you get to the rule say "see rule above" and jump to the analysis. But I don't know what your prof will. do. At this point, don't worry about it and focus on your next exam. And after that, enjoy the holiday. In January, reflect on what worked and didn't work, and make changes.
Fantastic work Professor!
Thanks, appreciate it.
Good lesson sir, I find it easy to use irac
Please can you put the Arabic subtitles, I am a big fan of yours from Saudi Arabia and I like your videos
I did translation for my earlier videos, but the cost is high. Sorry that I can't do this any more. I do spend my time making sure the English subtitles are accurate though.
Thank you sir
Welcome
I am ready for to get on top of class and my grade up ,and some someone's it's go down also
Hi Professor! I'm currently using CRAHNC (Conclusion, Rule, Analysis, However, Nevertheless, Conclusion). My Professors advocate for us to analyze counter arguments, so I found that this method is useful. My finals for 1L begin this coming Thursday (Torts) but I am nervous.
The exams are open book, and I have done my best to make an extensive outline, currently making a checklist for issues on an exam so that I hit whatever I want to, but I am still terrified of identifying the wrong issue on an exam. Do you have any advice for me? I feel like I'm doing everything correctly on paper but I can't help but feel like I'm missing "it"
People miss issues for one of two reasons: one, they don’t know a rule. Or two, they second guess themselves. The second one is easier to fix: go with your gut and write it down on the exam. The first one requires learning the law at a deep level. This requires taking practice exams and doing multiple choice questions. As you review the practice tests and questions, you will expose gaps in your knowledge.
@@Learnlawbetter Hi Professor! I've done a few MC questions and exposed some of the gaps in my knowledge and have attempted to adjust my answers and notes accordingly. Will take my first practice exam today and another tomorrow for my exam on Thursday. Thank you for all of your helpful advice across these videos :)
Your Bonus is inaccurate or, at best, incomplete. A quick Google search shows "In the US, the history of divorce started in the state of Maryland. Maryland declared divorce legal in 1701 and South Carolina in 1949 to 1950, while the state of California legalized the “no-fault” divorce in 1970.." Meanwhile, the first recorded divorce Jan 5, 1643, Anne Clark petitioned to divorce her husband Dennis Clark.
