There is an online program called Core Grammar for Lawyers. Law schools use it as do practitioners.

Their secret code argument might be that founders adopted natural law principles, now imbedded in const.

It is so much better over here. Enjoy!

Yes for upper-level classes, but less so for 1L classes like Civ Pro. It is pretty coordinated.

The pace of Civ Pro is so uneven. In the beginning of the semester, we spend a whole class period questioning a single jurisdictional concept, and then the gears switch and we cover multiple federal rules in one 75-minute class period. Teaching pleading amendments tomorrow, and there is a lot there.

I tell my 1Ls to stop narrating the argument and just do the arguing. “The opponent could argue…” and “A court has held…” don’t add anything

Just switched over. Thank you so much to the people who shared their starter packs. It has made the transition much easier.
