Preparing for Practice: Legal Analysis in Law School's First Year, Second Edition, conveys the essential skills of legal analysis and writing in a remarkably succinct format, using a realistic sample case file to give students specific examples of the skills covered in every chapter. The case file includes the client's factual scenario, a statute, five cases, and a sample complete "answer" memorandum. Practical guidance and examples are combined with key theoretical instruction so that students understand the rationale behind legal analysis, writing methods, and their applications. Embedded interactive online videos and self-assessment quizzes throughout the text test students' understanding of key topics.
