Ep: 03: How to Maximize Points When Writing Essays and Exam Answers
The particulars of this episode came from a specific student question…“How much does it really matter regarding my grades if I get the correct answer and I don’t really show the analysis that well?”
In short, the amount of points you’ll score will depend primarily on whether you properly follow the IRAC process and show complete legal analysis. In this episode, I walk listeners through an example to show you how to apply this writing process to a specific situation.
To answer this question further, I discuss in depth how to apply the IRAC format to all writing assignments as a general rule.

Ep. 02: The Writing Process
The latest C.A.S.E. episode is out, and this one is focused on the writing process. Writing is a huge aspect of the law school journey, so it's important to have a thorough understanding of best practices early on.
Key Takeaway:
Many people don't account for the fact that much of the writing process is actually thinking. Before you even put pen to paper or your fingers on the keyboard, there are several steps that many people don't consider or may not be aware of when they begin.
In my experience, there are approximately seven steps to the writing process, all of which must be completed to produce a complete and well-written document.
Tune in to find out what steps are involved in the writing process to achieve the best results. I hope you find this episode informative and inspiring as you embark on your next writing assignment!
