Coaching Scheduler
Friday 10:00 am & Sunday 8:00 a.m.
The “I” in IRAC, the ever-elusive “issue” is the necessary component in assessing facts to determine the rule of law. This session will break down legal fact patterns to identify relevant information used to formulate the issue. Coaching Scheduler
Friday 11:00 a.m. & Sunday 9:00 a.m.
Now that you’ve conquered spotting the issue, it’s time to analyze for legal sufficiency! Analyzing the Issue with the Rule merges potential issues with the learned rule of law to formulate a clear and concise legal analysis. Coaching Scheduler
Monday 2:00 p.m. & Friday 12:00 p.m.
So you’ve mastered issue spotting, analysis, formatting, and synthesis. Congratulations! Now it is time to put it all together and draft the greatest legal document the legal community has ever seen. This advanced session focuses on citations, legal formatting, advanced case analysis, and persuasive versus objective voice. It is HIGHLY recommended that students attend at least one session of each: Issue Spotting 101, Analyzing the Rule with the Issue, Legal Methods, and Mock Legal Essay Exam including Review, before attending Advanced Legal Writing. Coaching Scheduler
Wednesday 5:00 p.m.
This one-hour session is dedicated solely to taking a mock legal essay exam. Students will be given a fact pattern and will have the entire session to draft a responsive essay. The session will be timed. A review of the essay will be offered in the Mock Legal Essay Exam Review session. Coaching Scheduler
