Reading A Case

             The process of writing a strong legal memorandum or brief always begins with a careful reading of the cases or other precedents.   Expert readers know what to look for in a case because they have many years of experience reading and writing about legal issues.   One way to enhance your case reading skills is to listen carefully to an expert reader comment on the case as she is reading.   Try reading DiBiaso v. Mystic Motor Inn first on your own.   Then click on the sound icon and listen to Professor Mary Ferrari comment on the case.
