Been binging all of your videos, I was searching for weeks for someone to help me out and that someone is you. Thanks again I’m surprised people are not gearing more towards this as my generation needs this type of content.
Hi Jennifer! I'm so glad to hear it! ConLaw in particular can be a beast. 😆 P.S. I also run a free FB group for law students looking for clarity and support in their law school journey, would you like the link to join?
Hey Jennifer, not at all! We have a ton of prelaw students in the group too :) Here's the link to join: facebook.com/groups/lawtribenetwork See you inside!!
Great content and advice as always!! As a 1L, I’m literally applying this and rethinking my case briefing going into my study session this afternoon :)
That's awesome, Stephanie! I'm so glad to hear it!! If this video spoke to you, I actually host a free FB group for law students looking for clarity and support in their law school journey. Would you like the link to join?
Hi Angela! Thank you for the valuable content! How much time on average do you think one should spend in doing the case brief? Do you need to read the whole case to do the case brief? Thanks so much in advance!
Good question! I probably need to do an updated version of this video. 😆As I've seen law school strategy evolve over the years, I'm actually a HUGE fan of (1) getting a case brief from chatGPT (as a baseline foundation); (2) watch and takes notes on the Quimbee case brief video (to actually understand the case); and (3) skim/read the case (depending on whether your professor is a random/aggressive cold-caller). In an ideal world, steps (1) and (2) would take no more than 30 minutes. When it comes to step (3) that could take up to 15 minutes per page of the case (if you're investing the time to read and takes notes on every line of the case) or ideally no longer than an additional 15-30 minutes total (if you've transitioned to skimming the case and relying on taking incredibly detailed class notes on your professor's lecture). Let me know how that lands!
@@AngelaVorpahl @AngelaVorpahl Thank you very much for this elaborate answer. I really appreciate it. I'm a Canadian law student actually so I don't think Quimbee is of much help unfortunately :( I am able to get a lot of case summaries off Lexis though which I find is helpful. So are you recommending I spend about 45-1h per case? That would be about 8 hours per class per week just reading the case. Do you think it's a good use of my time and would not be better off sparing some time for outlining?
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I actually run a free FB group for current and aspiring law students looking for clarity and support in their law school journey, would you like the link to join?
I'm so glad! Legal writing videos are definitely in the works!! If you're looking for more support in the meantime, I run a free FB group for law students! Would you like the link to join?
Im really stuggling with case briefs. I’m able to get everything in the FIRAC theorem as explained by Professor Baez correct. But with the rule of law I’m really struggling. I’m not exactly able to identify it. Or at least that’s what I feel because I just state the statute that is applicable. Am I right or wrong?
Hi Pranav! I completely understand how identifying the "rule" of a case can be super confusing. DM me this question on Instagram @angelavorpahl and I can send you a voicenote with my thoughts!
If you're a law student and the case brief is not for a grade and/or your professor hasn't explicitly prohibited the use of AI, I'd say heck yes! It can absolutely help you understand the content and main takeaways of a case before you read it.
I actually love using a super basic case brief template when I make my case briefs: Case Name: Court (and Year): 1. Facts: 2. Issue: 3. Rule: 4. Analysis/Reasoning: 5. Holding: ------------------------------------ *Policy*: ------------------------------------ Procedural History: Parties' Arguments: Concurring Opinion(s): Dissenting Opinion(s): Vocabulary:

I'm so happy to hear it! I love making these videos for you guys, and it gives me so much energy when I hear that they resonate for y'all!
This could not have come at a better time. I'm doing case briefs for my class in con law. Thank you!

@@AngelaVorpahl oh I’m not in law school yet. I’m a junior in college. Does it matter? If not, I would love to

@@AngelaVorpahl thanks Angela, I’m getting the hang of it now since I’ve been looking at sample case briefs and highlighting better.
what is all the work you refer to that comes AFTER class since its not reading or briefing cases? Thanks
Good question. The "post-class" work is outlines, canned answers, and practice exams.
@@AngelaVorpahl Thank you! And canned answers come from the outlines or? And how do you use those for exams (closed book). Thanks for the tips.
Thank you 🙏🏾
My pleasure! I'm so glad the video was helpful!
Very nice but I think we can design templates based on categories of case brief for as it makes clarity in mind for memorizing.
Great! If you found a system that works for you, lean into that!
Hi , And thanks for the video.
My pleasure!! I'm so glad it was helpful! What year of law school are you currently in? :)
@@AngelaVorpahl l did the LLB degree from karachi Pakistan.
Thank you ❤
My pleasure! I'm so glad it was helpful!
is this quimbee available in Australia ?
Yeah! You can check it out here: www.quimbee.com/
Thank you!
Is is ethical the use of ai to interprete, write and read cases? Thanks.
If you're a law student and the case brief is not for a grade and/or your professor hasn't explicitly prohibited the use of AI, I'd say heck yes! It can absolutely help you understand the content and main takeaways of a case before you read it.
Do you have any how to draft and format these documents in microsoft 365
I actually love using a super basic case brief template when I make my case briefs:
Case Name:
Court (and Year):
1. Facts:
2. Issue:
3. Rule:
4. Analysis/Reasoning:
5. Holding:
------------------------------------
*Policy*:
------------------------------------
Procedural History:
Parties' Arguments:
Concurring Opinion(s):
Dissenting Opinion(s):
Vocabulary:
👍
It's busy work. No real-life lawyer does case briefs. Law school is basically hazing to keep down the number of lawyers so lawyers' pay stays high.
Out of my perview
i can believe 11 minutes watching this for you to not tell me how to write a case brief
