LAW 6102 - Legal Analysis

This course is designed to develop expertise in legal analysis, the process by which lawyers determine how a legal problem should be resolved. To perform competent legal analysis, a law student must identify the legal issues raised by the problem, select and explain applicable rules needed to resolve those issues, link elements of the rules to legally significant facts, and predict a legal outcome. Students will have multiple opportunities to practice legal analysis by completing written exercises in which they resolve hypothetical legal problems based on the law of Torts and Contracts. Because students are concurrently enrolled in those courses, Legal Analysis will serve to reinforce their understanding of how to study for, and succeed on, exams in Torts and Contracts.
