IRAC Review Course

The 3-Day IRAC Review Course is for current first or second-year law students seeking to improve their IRAC writing skills. This course’s online portion is conducted in preofessor-led chatroom sessions that take place over a three-day period. The online sessions are each about 60 minutes. In the chatroom sessions, students and professor analyze issues, discuss cases, and review assignments. Chat sessions are lively with a lot of student participation. This course also offers students the opportunity to perform four law school assignments, including three IRAC assignments, and to have those assignments critiqued. In this course students develop a strong foundation in legal analysis and legal writing.
