Model responses to hypos in casebooks? Forum

[jmharlan2]

Is there any place you can find model responses to hypotheticals posed in casebooks, e.g., Torts by Twerski & Henderson?

Thank you.

No. Get the Examples and Explanations series. Casebooks are shit for actual studying for this exact reason -- the questions are strictly rhetorical.

No. Get used to those casebook hypos without answers. Every book has them. I remember when I used to waste time with my study group actually trying to formulate answers to them should they come up in class. Talk about losing the forest for the trees. Give them a few moments of thought but that is about it.

In addition to what G.T.L. said, occasionally these hypos will be circuit splits (meaning different courts have reached different conclusions, so there essentially is no one right answer). I sometimes noted down some of these as issues that could come up in the professor's exams.

They are good for stimulating thoughts, but if your professor talks about one specifically - WATCH OUT - that hypo is prime material for an exam question.
