When I was a 1L I was IRACing a case and some attorney who had just graduated happened to see me doing this and burst out laughing pointing at me. She told me I was wasting my time and only had to write down what the holding was, maybe a word or two to jog my memory in case I get cold called on. I, of course, ignored her sage advice and continue to IRAC my cases for the rest of the year. Beginning of 2L I realized she was right.

Every case has an issue, a rule, an analysis and a conclusion or holding. Maybe I'm remembering something wrong--it was a little while ago.

Lol everyone freaks out 1L year and just goes about school in a 'check the box' sort of way. Am I briefing? check. Have I read and reread getting to maybe? check. Am I meeting biweekly with my retarded study group to argue about Scalia dissents? check and check!!

I was assigned to this group of three other people in my 1L Lawyering Skills class where we had a bunch of busy work to do and we were all supposed to complete each assignment independently.

The asshole that I am made the completely outrageous suggestion to my group that we each divide up the assignment and then exchange answers so we could GTFO and go home. I got fucking death stares from all three of them. I can actually still see that kike cunt with the wicked hook nose staring at me like it was yesterday.

nominally because each color represents part of irac and maybe one or two others to highlight non-irac things that they believe are SCHOLARSHIP, but the actual reason is bc they are retarded

when I made outlines and re-read them, i'd highlight different shit with a different color on each read through, just to be doing something that kept me engaged and also to connect some visual cue with the memory of reading the shit. worked well for me
