I am going to provide you with three steps you should take to improve the analysis section of your essay exams. For a law school essay exam, your answer should be organized using the IRAC method: Issue, Rule, Analysis, and Conclusion-watch my prior video if you are unfamiliar with the IRAC method.
Every law student has that "ah-ha" moment-when suddenly, legal analysis just clicks. For me, it was watching video (segment 2:09 to 2:52 to be exact). It was like a lightbulb went off in my head. I then sat down to practice analysis by answering the "how" and "why". My paragraph read beautifully. I read it out loud and I sounded so much more intelligent! I couldn't believe it. On the next exam, I scored those high points and went from a C+ to an A-. After watching this video dozens of times, analysis finally sticks. I write everything in this format, including my brief analysis. I then take that analysis and apply them on the exam. It's saved me so much time and energy in studying when I finally know what I need to look for, and how to explain it in an analysis. I should always be thankful for coming across this video. Thank you Professor Baez!
Invaluable advice, thank you!
By providing an example of a poor answer it really highlights the importance of the information it was missing when compared to the explicit answer.
After comparing the two, I noticed how step 3 loops back to tie in the determining statement at the beginning! Explicitly stating the why and how in order to 'prove' it was a false statement! And to top it off, a quick conclusion to explicitly state this part of the defamation element is met. Superb! (Element and condition to determine, the facts, why and how, conclude with state of condition determined). Great explanation. Thank you.
It's made me realize that if statements are not explicit and are inferred, important points can be simply forgotten or missed, especially by audiences like a jury who may not always be focused or concentrating on the information presented to them.
I appreciate your advice and all of your videos to date. Excellent quality and great mentoring topics!
Thank you for the detailed feedback!
@@Learnlawbetter I's it true that it is illegal for the police to attempt to force a confession out of a suspect because the fifth ammendment of the Uniteted States Condtitution says that people have the right to not say anything that might incriminate them?
No. The way police solve most crimes is through confession. But the confession must be voluntary. And they almost always are. Now, if you mean by forced, can they beat someone? Well then that is not a voluntary confession.
Disclaimer; what I wrote a year ago and what I am writing today is not legal advice of any kindwhatsoever. It is not intended to be, was not intended to be, and should not be interpreted as such. I am not a lawyer and I have never and would never claim to be one. It is and was part of a legitimante question directed at the creator of the video above and at the creator of the Learn Law Better Channel.
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you Professors Baez and Matthews.
I don’t plan to become a law student, but I love listening to your tips. I think your advice can help people in other career fields. I am a technical communicator.
Thanks. I thought about making the channel broader, but decided to stay niche. Glad I can help.

You don’t need to change a thing. The utility of your work already reaches far beyond the target audience. I enjoy listening to you, and I think your advice is extremely beneficial to people in all walks of life.
Pretty useful, thank you! if you may provide examples about contract law - best practices for analysis and conclusion, it would be great.
If it is not written it is not stated and, it should be analysis and not a story are what I understand this video to be saying.
Again, great lesson!
Can you speak on statutory analysis? If you have I have not seen it yet; I just discovered you today.
I'll put statutory analysis on my list for future episodes. But for now, you want to make sure that you read a statute carefully. See if the section you are reading is part of a larger whole, or there are other portions of the statute that you need to examine. For example, you may find a "definitions" section elsewhere in the code that helps you understand the statute. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video. I am looking forward to putting your advise to work in my next practice essay.
Excellent advice!! Thank you, Professors!
That was really helpful, thank you!
Can you please make a video on how to answer questions in evidence law
Man your advice is great! definitely going to help on my Torts assignment, thank you so much! Do you have any counter analysis for IRAC form?
Sorry, no
Потрясающе!
Почему в Российском институте меня этому не учили?
Спасибо профессору за лекцию!
Awesome videos
Can you assist in how to choose an LLM Maritime Law dissertation topic, Thanks
Just curious... as I am teaching a business law course is it possible you could create content that covers something commercial? I love your simple, clear ways of explaining things. But we teach in an inner city location where a lot of terrible things happen and the murder examples are just a little too close to home. If I were teaching criminal law, civil procedure or a general bar prep course, then who cares? Just curious...
I understand. I suppose I use certain examples because they captivate students-they stay engaged. That being said, I teach in the areas or tax and business, where the examples are commercial.
I'm famous!! Thanks, Beau!
Thank you for your suggestion on what students need to know so that they can perform better on law school essay exams!
I was reading about solitary confinement of prisioners in the uniteted states does not constitute a violation of the eighth ammendment. This is not or was not legal advice of any kind. For any legal problem always speak to a liseneced lawyer.
Thank you for all it's
I love your videos! Thank you, so helpful!
Thank you, Jean Luc!
