There was an actual court case (I think CA supreme court) which ruled that RAP was so complex you couldn't sue an attorney for malpractice if s/he got it wrong

Re: OFFICIAL 1L Exam Prep & Motivation Thread (CSWS)
Random Question for CSWS crowd: I've met with most of my Fall professors to go over my exams (both that I did well and ok on), and the one comment I've heard from all of them is that my answers don't fit together as a coherent whole and that the different parts of each answer seem to be free floating and scattered.
1. I get what the means in the abstract (the answers didn't flow together), but really, what the fuck does this mean?
2. How do I fix it?

I don't know what that means. I know that I proceeded through questions in a component-by-component manner but at the end I tried to draw it all together with a conclusion synthesizing quickly the findings of each componential analysis into a coherent whole.Doorkeeper wrote:Random Question for CSWS crowd: I've met with most of my Fall professors to go over my exams (both that I did well and poorly on), and the one comment I've heard from all of them is that my answers don't fit together as a coherent whole and that the different parts of each answer seem to be free floating and scattered.

Honestly, it sounds like a throwaway answer they can give anyone to explain the grading.Doorkeeper wrote:Random Question for CSWS crowd: I've met with most of my Fall professors to go over my exams (both that I did well and ok on), and the one comment I've heard from all of them is that my answers don't fit together as a coherent whole and that the different parts of each answer seem to be free floating and scattered.

Re: OFFICIAL 1L Exam Prep & Motivation Thread (CSWS)
Yea, I thought that might be the case, but it's puzzling that multiple professors who spent 30-45 minutes going over my exams with me in detail would all make the same non-substantive comments.

My answers were terribly organized. Profs will tell you they want organized answers... but they don't actually care.

How does one study for conlaw when half the cases are 2011/12 and therefore no outlines exist? Actually read the cases or still just go over the same principles found on every other outline ever?
