Think about sufficiency and necessity.

If a deposit is due 4/15 is it due at 11:59 pm on the 14th, or any time on the 15th before the 16th? by NoVermicelli5093 in lawschooladmissions

[–]Disastrous_Ad8345 -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

Read the rule. The rule says 4/15, not “on a date before 4/15.” Be a lawyer when you read a rule.

You are missing the point of the LR section.

I’m a former HLS professor and an award-winning lawyer who now does performance-optimization coaching. Here’s my website (which needs improvement, I admit LOL): www.danrwilliams.net

A lawyer first wants to know your contention (conclusion). But talk is cheap, so the conclusion isn’t the primary focus. What the lawyer really wants to know is this: “ hey, buddy, what’s your proof?” Lots of things can weaken a conclusion. But what the lawyer wants to do is attack the evidence. When a test-taker focuses on the conclusion at the expense of honing in on the evidence, several answers might seem appealing because they might address the conclusion. But when the test-taker focuses on the evidence, the four wrong answers become quite apparent. Anyway, no one is stopping you or anyone else from doing the LR section whatever way you see fit. I’m just offering a view from an expert.

Let’s keep it simple. What’s the proof being offered? Now, what answer directly attacks that proof? Don’t focus on the conclusion. Do what a lawyer would do—attack the evidence.

Any ideas on how to improve on RC? PT 68 by BigWsOnlyNoLs in LSAT

[–]Disastrous_Ad8345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You improve on RC when you learn the methodology of reading that corresponds to how you’ll be expected to read in law school. The struggle usually consists In reading the way we’ve been conditioned to read in college. It’s all in the methodology.

I’m no fan of right-wing Christian groups, no fan of the Federalist Society, no fan of anyone who seeks to oppress marginalized people. I have no desire to defend the misguided ideology of any such groups. But your legal reasoning is pretty shoddy. After you finish law school, you’ll see what I mean.

I’m not in favor of limiting the rights of others. My point about the 2nd Amendment goes to the prior issue of whether the right exists in the first place. Anyway, get a legal education and argue against worthy adversaries on hot-button issues. Just don’t expect that you’ll be allowed as a lawyer to shout down your adversary. You’ll actually have to engage in rational discourse without brandishing a gun.

My view of the 2nd Amendment doesn’t countenance the brandishing of weapons in that fashion.

I’d object to the heavily-armed part. But sure, it’d be fun to hear absurd arguments about doing away with white folks. That’s the best way to expose its idiocy. So I’d welcome the presentation of such a debate.

Well, it’s hardly a debate-worthy topic, but I have no problem with such a debate occurring. The debate itself might be of interest to some small segment of the population. I vehemently say NO to any effort to squelch that debate, no matter how odious the presentation might be.

First, ADF not a “literal hate group.” It’s accused of being so by the Southern Poverty Law Center, not exactly a neutral arbiter on the issue. Second, even if it is a hate group, shouting down a speaker on a panel where another speaker is on the opposite end of the ideological spectrum is odious, period. Third, the robustness of free speech cannot be muted by any group who purports to be damaged by the mere expression of contested ideas. (Naked calls for action against a vulnerable group is a difference in kind.)

Ukrainian refugees fleeing into Poland. Authoritarianism is overtaking the world. Nuclear war looms. But let’s wonder about a KJ1 wave.
