Case briefing is a learned skill, which takes time to master. It doesn’t have to be long, and in fact should not be more than half a page long. Yet many law students abandon case briefing after a few weeks in law school. To help you understand how to master this simple yet important skill, I have prepared a case briefing demonstration video. Below you will find the three cases I used, which I highly recommend you read before watching the video. To get the most out of this demonstration, read the cases first, case brief them, and then watch the video. Compare your result with mine. You should find that you have more time to complete case briefs, and you will also be helping prepare for your finals using the IRAC exam writing method.
