As a lawyer for almost 20 years, I have always learned to read a case backwards. Start with the conclusion and work your way up. Try it. Much easier.

Who's watching in 2024? A picture paints a thousand words but a video paints a million. I appreciate your lecture, Professor Anne Coughlin. This is awesome comfort learning for a 63-year-old. Everything else on KZbin is chewing gum for my brain. Res ipsa loquitur. The video speaks for itself.

As a law student I basically do the following: - read the facts and determine what the issue is. - read the end of the judgement to see what the court holds. - then skim the judgement itself. By doing this I can understand the context of the case and the reasoning process for the final decision.

Hey, y'all need to read the cases before class! She's too nice! When I see that a case was recently done, I'm like, "Aw, shit. No one's gonna know this yet". When it's a case from the turn of the 20th century, I'm saying, "Yeah, this has been solidified, not changed, fantastic precedent". I won a settlement, without a lawyer, citing a couple of way old cases. Fantastic lecture.

As an incoming college student I just really love how she doesn’t let the class feels like she is superior and she’s very open for questions, and she even looks like she spoon feed the things you should know or ask about. Also, the words she use I thought she will use a lot of legal jargon and high falutin words- but she explain things very precisely. I LOVE HER 👏🏻👏🏻 SHE’S AMAZING!!

One of the essential elements of the rule of Ipsa Loquiture, is that if an event or act or omission happened, while actually it was not supposed or expected to happen in the specific circumstances of the case, then there is a presumption or inference that the author of that act is deemed to be responsible for it, that is the meaning of the fact speaks for itself. However, the defendant can reverse such presumption, or such inference, by inducing sufficient evidence to convince the court to put aside such presumption which was based on Ipsa Loquiture rule. This rule was considered by the Supreme Court of Canada, just as another rule of evidence that needs to be subject to the rules of relevancy, materiality, admissibility in court and credibility. As to the fact corroborating intent, the right word is that the mens rea could be inferred from conduct, if the evidence of such conduct leaves no doubt that it is intended to commit the crime. The corroboration means the testemony that strengthen the probative value of another evidence. The evidence of mens rea is separate from the evidence of actus reus.

I'm not a law student so I have no idea about these things but I find them interesting enough to listen to the classes. She mentioned the judge never gave general instructions on the overt act to the jury at all. Why would this be? A judge has decades of experience. Why would a judge with ample experience do something so drastic as to not provide the instructions on the overt act element to the jury?
