FIRAC Case Briefing Method

[@yabbamita]

This deserves way more views. The advice in here is invaluable for law students in my opinion, particularly first years

[@Learnlawbetter]

Thank you. The issue is finding a way to convince law students that the information is valuable. Usually this happens after their first examination period.

[@lunganinkosi7560]

I'm so glad I found this channel. I'm a second year law student all the way from South Africa. :)

[@Learnlawbetter]

Welcome. Glad you are finding the videos useful.

[@jimlee4698]

I really appreciate all the hard-work that you do to inform us law students. The advice that you give are truly invaluable to me and I'm sure they would be to anyone who is in law school.

[@Learnlawbetter]

Thanks-appreciate it.

[@Skruncharoo]

Is there another video where you discuss tips on locating each element of FIRAC within the case? Sometimes rule statements and reasoning statements are hard to spot.

[@Learnlawbetter]

That is a great idea for a future video--I've placed it on my list. Modernly this isn't a problem as courts almost always identify the rule of law. But you are correct for older cases. There they can be hard to find, especially for a law student. Thanks for the suggestion.

Not even 1 bombastic word. Even a grade 8 learner can learn this. Nice one and you have just earned my sub🔥🔥🔥

[@Learnlawbetter]

Thanks, and welcome aboard!

[@Isaacdanger]

Thanks man, learning this method for my digital forensics class

[@Mel_x]

Thank you so much! I'm about to start my first semester and I just didn't know how to read cases effectivly to help me for exams and classes!

[@Learnlawbetter]

Glad I could help!

[@Dk7423]

Thanks, professor. Your suggestions are very helpful.

[@Learnlawbetter]

Thanks for letting me know-I hope they help you.

[@bornfree8073]

What the hell? I was literally just given a case, an example case brief and ordered to brief the case given to me. Im so pissed.

[@user-nt4vr9ry4r]

Im a first year student Nd Im glad I came across this video....very helpful!!!

[@TheStealthyGoat]

These videos are very well done from a production standpoint!

[@Learnlawbetter]

Thanks! Its taken a while to figure out the technology.

[@foxycat8751]

Jeeeez - Where have you been! I love your simple to the point short video’s. Especially the Nested IRAC video.

[@Learnlawbetter]

Thanks.

[@ahmadjamshaid1475]

Thank you.

[@rahulsharma-gq3mw]

Extremely helpful! Would love to see more

[@Ms.vickyb]

Your videos have been extremely helpful. Is it possible for you to do a video where you share a case and then take us through the FIRAC method to ensure we understand and can apply this method in our studies. We can start and stop the video and compare our FIRAC to yours.

[@Learnlawbetter]

Great idea. I just put it down on my list of future topics--but it's a long list.

[@annarose7430]

Thank you Beau! Very informative video for people who want to study wise!!!

[@Learnlawbetter]

Thank you again for catching the spelling errors on the earlier video. As you can see, I made the corrections and replaced it. I'm glad that you are finding the videos useful.

[@pranavpillai7778]

This is working really well for me! Thanks a lot.

[@Learnlawbetter]

Great to hear!

[@pranavpillai7778]

@@Learnlawbetter could you provide some insight into keeping your case brief less than one page.

[@christineboswell-sexton4894]

Would it make sense to find a rule that would benefit the potential plaintiff if you would be hypothetically representing them in the "briefing"?

[@Learnlawbetter]

The plaintiff and defendant don't matter in relation to the rule. You need to find the rule that the court articulated, which sometimes benefits the plaintiff and at other times the defendant.

[@christineboswell-sexton4894]

Learn Law Better Ah ok. I have not yet applied to school nor have I done a brief. I was unsure if there was the possibility of expanding upon the brief by saying, this is what was done and why. However, since this was not something that could not be claimed, we could have pursued this instead.

[@scarletmoon9256]

I'm approaching my 1L orientation, and rewatching these videos has been a lot of help. I am currently reviewing my school's law prep material, but I am having difficulty understanding what a holding is. Is it different from the judgment?

[@Learnlawbetter]

They are the same. But in appellate decisions, we generally say holding.

[@scarletmoon9256]

@@Learnlawbetter thank you!

Got a B+ for my test from your videos ❤️

Great job!

Excelente canal, me suscribo de inmediato. ¡Saludos desde México!

[@Learnlawbetter]

Gracias.

[@azminazulaikhaamiruddin3503]

This is so much good to help on my exam next week! But, excuse me, for the 'Rule' does it mean any Acts that related to the case? Thank you.

[@Learnlawbetter]

The rule is another word for the law that is applicable. For example, suppose that the facts you are provided on a test deal with the intentional tort of battery. You would need to supply the rule, or law for battery: "a battery is the intentional contact of another in a harmful or offensive manner." Also, keep in mind that you must provide the rules, or law, for elements of the rule. Staying with Battery for a moment, you would need to define "intent," "contact," and "harmful or offensive."

[@azminazulaikhaamiruddin3503]

Learn Law Better alright, now I understand. Thank you.

[@rooseveltbarnes6381]

This was a very informative post

[@futurekillerful]

Is the conclusion there same thing as the ruling the court gave on the case?

[@Learnlawbetter]

Excellent question! By conclusion, I mean the answer to the legal question that was being decided in the case. That's a bit different from the holding, which might be something like "case reversed" or "case remanded.

sir?
