Overview

ELEVATE YOUR LEARNING POTENTIAL IN LAW SCHOOL! After reading The WHY of It: Langdell's Generation Speaks to Today's Law Students, the modern law student will have a working knowledge of the original, idealized Case System of Legal Study that has been used to develop an ability to feel the living growth of the law and think like a lawyer for over a century! THE LEARNING DELAY. Law students today widely refer to what happens under the Case System as the Socratic Method in reference to a Case System component part. The author believes that students who undertake their legal studies using Socratic Method as their guiding image are likely to experience a learning delay that will last the first several critical months in law school, if not longer. COMPRESS THE LEARNING DELAY! The WHY of It is designed to compress that learning delay by developing an ability to feel the original Case System and thus prepare for, recognize when they emerge, understand, and work with the modern Case System derivatives found in modern classrooms. Such compression may be less useful to students from a legal family because the concepts in this book will probably have been learned around the kitchen table. But for most law students the idealized Case System portrayed in this book may NEVER be read or heard anywhere else. A CASE SYSTEM EXPERIENCE The page count is about the same as the readings for one law school class, so reading The WHY of It is a Case System experience. The student must interact with the material, identify the Case System's key principles, organize them using their individual learning style, undertake any post-reading activity they deem necessary, and then apply the idealized Case System's principles in the modern classroom as appropriate. This book is a quick read, but it would be a mistake to equate the page count with what this little book can do for your understanding of studying law using Appellate level cases. Whether preparing for law school or as a 1L, 2L, or 3L, The WHY of It will elevate your learning potential in law school! ABOUT THE AUTHOR Attorney David S.
