Where do you find single-issue practice questions? What else do you do to prepare for your exams?
Thank you I appreciate it.

You have a "bailment". issue here, because of a previous verbal contract…..The homeowner is responsible for the repairs….. there's no "conversion"…. because of a previous agreement to "share". assets and the neighbor.didnt convert the ninetenths of possession into profit…. period… I'd answer (c) $150.
Sorry…..you are not entitled to complete replacement… just repair, to restore and return the property…..
I love your approach, I sense a Professor that has found a really solid purpose in life 👍👍👍💪💪💪…… Fantastic!!!!
Why would any of them sue each other in the first place? They are not animals
Torts, Property, and Civil Procedure. It all starts Monday. Thank you for your videos!
From your opinion, how many pages of answers is enough for a law question? Is it better to have many pages?
Can you get into law school if you’ve had dui charges (no convictions)?
Non-lawling/lawyer here, I thought C would be the answer ala Judge Judy type case. I didn't know what a conversion was, so I figured that was going to be the problem with my answer. Very clear explanation of creating essays out of MC questions though.
Thank you 😊
Hello prof. Thanks for sharing. If i can request, maybe in the video you could like to share about bussines law term. Tks
Unfortunately for me I forget the cases to site once to get into the exam hall.
Can non-U.S. citizens practice law in the U.S.?
This is amazing! Thank you so much, professor.
I had never considered turning a multiple choice question into an essay question. This is very smart, and something I will add to my toolbox.
As for practice questions, our law library gives us access to hundreds of digital supplements. I find the Examples and Explanations series to be so helpful for exam prep. You can write your essay and there is a sample response at the end of the section.
I like to take a highlighter and highlight those things in my essay that appear in the model response. Below my essay I type those things I did not include. I then turn on track changes and go back and revise my essay to include things I missed. This usually reveals where my weakness is (be it not setting forth the issue, missing parts of the rule, or having a thin analysis—not running thru all the elements or considering both sides and which side is the more defensible position). 9 times out of 10 my analysis is not as strong as it could be. As the semester goes on, this gets better, and there are less things to add. The revision component is, for me, key.
I will also mention that as exam time approaches, I fold in timing and try to write an essay in 30-45 minutes. Early on it’s all about mastering the content, later it transitions into a balance of mastering content and learning proper pacing.
You are a godsend. Don't know how I would prepare for law school without your help.
Excellent topic professor.
