Briefs: which ones

[jslick]

Q: Neophyte aXes: how many of these ContraKs cases should we brief? 
I understand that the best approach might be to brief ALL the contracts cases, but I'm only going 1/2 time, and am already spending >= 14 hours per week on my studies.  I am probably making it too hard, but I don't see the value in cheating by just memorizing or copying an outline.

I'm briefing all the contract cases.  I find them easier to brief the cases from the casebook than from the opinions themselves.

I think we are expected to brief them all.

Doesn't it seem as if there are too many cases to brief during a single week, when you include all the classes? It seems too much to me to do well. How do others feel?

[jeffjoe]

I've felt overwhelmed, but if you don't brief them or something like it how will you understand them?

[tortfeasor]

Brief all the cases.

If you are talking about Lewis's Contracts class, I would strongly suggest you breif all the cases at least loosely.

I am doing my best to brief all of them. Especially Torts and Contracts since he calls on the class to brief. I would think Crimes is not too focused on the briefs.....
How is everyone studying for Crimes?

I agree.  I think these are the easier ones to brief, meaning the ones in the casebook are easier than the actual opinions.
