My Torts Outline Forum

[lawschoolgiant]

It will be about 15-18 pages at the max. This includes brief summaries of all the cases we discussed. Does this maybe seem to short?

Seems too long to me. Torts (intentional) is really easy to outline.

Intentional is easy, negligence is a fucking bitch.

My unfiltered running Torts outline is about 23 pages with 3 more class sessions to attend.

I know there is alot in there that I won't need in my final outline. I'm hoping to synthesize and trim down to about 7 pages.

This is just for reference. I have learned that the wisdom "different stuff works for different people" is very very true.

+1. I need to figure out a more formulaic way to attack negligence in my answers.

Yes. I think my intentional torts outline will be like 2 pages, and then 10 for negligence, if not more.

My torts outline was 6 pages.

Duty, breach, causation and damages. Your defenses will almost always come up in the proximate cause discussion.

my torts outline is by far my longest, 38 pages (compared to 12 for civ pro and 18 for K's)

however, my prof expressed a deep desire for us to cite cases. So roughly 20 pages of the torts outline is just mini-briefs. If this weren't expected I imagine it would only be 20 pages.

Nope. Open book and half multiple choice for Torts (with a 5-hour take home issue spotter).

[IAFG]

since my prof doesn't need case citations or fact-to-fact comparisons, i think mine will be in the 7-8 page range, all said and done.

Why?

MIne is definitely not looking forward to that. Although, I think I prefer it over my 24 hour conlaw take home...

To above post: I have Epstein

[screwsandboalts]

im making my outline today but looking for a previous students outline to check facts and stuff - problem is that no one had our prof last year and no one used epstein, and i cant find a good outline - do you (or anyone) happen to have a decent one that i could check mine with?

I always feel like I'm just using circular logic to justify that a duty exists.

Mine's looking to be about this long.

[motedust]

Mines about 7 pages right now, 3 weeks left. Open book though, straight issue spotter. Aiming for about 10-12.

To those who used Epstein's casebook - did you also try Epstein's hornbook? Is it any good? How about Emanuel's?
