Chapter 4, Section 3.b. - Broad vs. narrow purposes

I understand the concept of spin vs. counter-spin and floodlight vs. laser beam, but I don't understand its application to exams. "Broad vs. narrow purposes" seems out of place in the chapter. What am I missing?

Ugh. I can't answer your question because I stopped reading that book after like 5 pages, but I was stuck in a class taught by one of the authors and this question reminds me of how torturous it was.

It is possible to well in law school without reading that book. Just saying.

Getting to Maybe: realize there are ambiguities in the law and they will be tested in the exam, argue both ways.

Glad you have it down. Perhaps you could be the one to answer my question.

You miss the point; at the end of the day, see the ambiguity, argue both ways, come to a conclusion, explain the conclusion.

There's no need to pay attention to "floodlights" (I don't even recall what that's in reference to). Seriously, don't make it so complicated. Focus on keeping track of the BLL and significant minutiae that influenced decisions instead of GTM

Put down your copy of Getting to Maybe and start reading your Torts assignment.

End thread.
