Have you heard of attack plans? Some law students are already familiar with attack plans, but others may be scratching their heads.
Whether or not attack plans are a new concept for you is kind of unimportant. What is really important to note, is that attack plans are exam-taking “secret sauce.” We aren’t kidding; they can make or break your exam answer! [Read more…] about Wondering What an Attack Plan Is?

As many readers know, I also help people study for the California Bar Exam and I write for our sister site the Bar Exam Toolbox. Frequently, law students come to me asking where they can find basic outlines on the black letter law, practice questions on 1L subjects, or multiple-choice questions.

Have you ever heard of Erwin Chemerinsky? He may have written your Constitutional Law textbook. And he may be your law school dean (if you go to the University of California, Irvine). He is well-known as a constitutional law expert, having written many books and argued many important appellate cases. He was even my bar review lecturer on constitutional law when I was studying for the bar exam. He did his entire six-hour lecture from memory, with no notes. No kidding, this guy is incredibly impressive in so many ways. [Read more…] about Favorite Con Law Supplement: Chemerinsky’s Constitutional Law: Principles and Policies
