Law students, if your fall grades were inconsistently high and low, consider your ability to analyze the different rule structures common to each class. If you did well in Torts, Criminal Law, Remedies, Evidence, and Professional Responsibility, you successfully analyzed element-based rules—you understood that all claim or defense elements had to be satisfied to conclude a certain way and are likely linear thinkers. If you did well in Constitutional Law or Criminal Procedure, you were successful in applying and distinguishing cases to achieve an outcome for a new set of facts—you understood how Constitutional rights were violated or upheld and walked yourself through a roadmap approach (“if yes, then go down this route, if no then another route”) to each Amendment. It’s trickier if you did well in Civil Procedure, Contracts, Property, Community Property, Estates, or Business Associations because these classes require you to combine the above-mentioned rule structures and sometimes include balancing tests, weighing factors, and alternative rule structures. These are not absolutes but guidelines—it’s another way to think about your strengths and weaknesses on your fall exams to improve upon them this spring. And, if you did well in Legal Writing, you obviously followed the sound tips and expertise of Amanda Haverstick! #lawstudent #lawschool #lawstudents

As the Supreme Court concludes its term, the importance of varied perspectives in our highest courts is more evident than ever. The decisions made in our courts impact everyone, and to ensure justice is truly served, it’s vital that the arguments presented reflect a wide range of experiences. Exposing all law students to appellate law and facilitating interactions with appellate judges, clerks, and practicing attorneys is crucial for fostering a judiciary representing all Americans. Today, we’re sharing a powerful testimonial from two of our mentees who attended a recent courthouse visit and engaged with the judges and clerks. This experience was transformative, highlighting the importance of accessibility and broad representation in the legal profession. Your support can help us provide more students with these invaluable opportunities: 👉 👉 👉 https://lnkd.in/ddAdMJC Together, we can nurture a new generation of lawyers and judges who truly represent and serve all Americans. #AppellateLinkedIn #representationmatters
