Issue Spotting 

Looking at practice exams is a good idea for issue spoting.

Gracias!

That is a huge topic-one that covers several months in a law school class. Suffice it to say that it is a broad power that covers most economic endeavors in the United States.

Practice problems are a means for learning the material at a deep level, so they should be added to one’s daily review-a few each day.

Thanks for the request. I just wrote it down on my list.

@@Learnlawbetter please do a video on the steps that are required to become a judge in the uniteted states of america.

It all comes down to politics. In most states, judges are elected and that means campaigning. In those states, that allows graduates from every law school to compete. But at the federal level, judges are appointed by the US President, which means you have to be active in the President's political party.

You say, "in the uniteted states of america." Is that an island off Cuba? ;) @@davidsoto4394

Nawww, this is low-grade analysis. Very imprecise and superficial. Don't be so easily impressed. He left out a ton of key stuff, as you should know one year later. What year are you in?

Start with the table of contents in your textbook. For example, in Torts, the book might be broken down into intentional torts, negligence, defamation, etc... Keep going back to that for each class session.

Learn Law Better thank you!

Here is a link to a video where I grade a torts essay: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ffhd9qHeHek.html

One IRAC for each issue.

Unless someone says, "IRAN from each issue." @@Learnlawbetter

Hope you do great. Relax-you’ve got this!

Michelle, the exam is over now. How did it go, pray tell? ;)

I haven't spent time reviewing it, so can't speak to its usefulness.

Say what "LEEWS" stands for, silly; don't be a 'looooser'.

I saw this, "It’s an acronym for (Wentworth Miller’s) Law Essay Exam Writing System. LEEWS is actually several systems - a system for dissecting any essay exercise to reveal “issues” professors (and bar examiners) want identified; a system for doing analysis, and presenting it in concise paragraphs." It has the most wordy, chuckleheaded, redundant, carnival-barker drivel sales pitches online too, which make it seem like a fraud. It says its 3 steps analysis works on any legal exam. I suspect it's too cookie-cutter then. Best to focus on the professor's exact question and answer it with common sense, not to follow another's dogmas.

At that age, focus on learning the great ideas. Read good literature, history, philosophy, and other disciplines. By making connections to the great ideas you will be prepared for life.

You can try getting to maybe. I'm not too deep into it but, just by getting to chapter 3, I feel like I learned a lot.

It depends on the individual. Some people are more inclined towards the sciences and others are not. In my case, I get weak around the sight of blood--so medical school would have been almost impossible for me. I suppose I would have eventually gotten over it.

Forget that method. It is silly and lowbrow. Look at the call of the question, then see what laws are triggered by the facts, when those specific facts are turned into the 'material' facts, which the laws are stated in.
