How To Read, Understand and Summarise Legal Cases Quickly
Вставка

- Why is it that nobody teaches you how to read legal cases as a law student? You get chucked in right at the deep end by law professors, who automatically expect you to know how to navigate these complicated passages of legal text and be able to analyse them effectively. Fortunately, there is a structured process that you can use to help you quickly find all the relevant details you need and summarise those cases into a few short bullet points!
TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 Introduction
01:09 The Anatomy of Legal Cases
03:11 The Headnote of a Case
07:07 Finding the Ratio & Obiter
09:30 Summarising the Case

Aussie law student here. I cannot thank you enough for these videos and your effort into them. I'm in my second year of law school and after an abysmal semester due to overworking at my day job (which I have now left in order to recover my grades), your videos have been my saving grace to help me lay the foundations for my grade recovery. Thank you for your advice and everything you do.
I'm literally in exactly the same position as you! 2nd year law student trying to recover grades after trying to balance full-time work and study unsuccessfully! Hope you got through it!
Gareth, As a first year law under grad, you have no idea how useful this video has been to me. Thank you for uploading!
Super happy to hear you found this useful 😄
Hey Gareth, thank you for the break down. Im in South Africa and studying LLB and i found very few people can break ot down

This is fantastic. I am curious about how different the setup of cases is in Canada vs the UK. I am looking for something like this but with a Canadian case example. I will keep looking, but I love how you show the actual case and break it down. Thanks!
Thank you!! :)
Thank you for this!
Thanks for watching!
You are way better than other people
Thank you so much!!
Great video! lol but I sat here confused as to why my cases were formatted differently...Fast forward, I just realized you are from another country....I hope this isn't a sign of what kind of lawyer I'm going to be lmao.
hi, I'm trying to succeed in law school and I find your videos very helpful to me as I don't have any background whatsoever and I don't know what I'm doing. I need to read 15 cases before orientation and mock class and I'm trying to get tips from your videos. 4:46 you said there's a subtle difference but I can't really see or understand what it is. Can you elaborate? that would be a great help!
Can you please
Make a video on Mooting
Thank you
No problem :)
