The Legal(or Law) Essay Exam Writing (System) - LEEWS - Primer

Description

Perhaps the best way to demonstrate the comprehensiveness of LEEWS instruction is to reprint in toto the Table of Contents from the 136 page text that accompanies the live and audio versions of LEEWS — The Legal Essay Exam Writing Primer (Primer). As you may judge, the topics are many, and go far beyond the scope of standard exam writing/preparation advice. Nor are they covered superficially. As you may judge from reprinted text of several topics, subjects are explored thoughtfully, practically, and with innovative insights. They are also probably not altogether comprehensible taken out of context of the instruction as a whole.Almost every facet of LEEWS instruction reflected in the Primer is linked and integrated into an overall methodology and approach that is at once sophisticated and insightful, even revolutionary, yet easily understood in its individual components. Block upon block, an edifice of insight and practical steps of approach to all aspects of the exam writing/preparation process is constructed. Each block of information reinforces what went before and introduces what is to follow. Remove any one or two blocks, and questions will abound. Although the Primer seeks to make clear the LEEWS methodology and approach, many years of experience instruct that it is not possible for any but the most dedicated law student to grasp the methodology and approach from the book alone. Students must be guided through the building blocks, which is the function of the live and audio LEEWS programs.Not that every topic contained in the Primer is squeezed into a LEEWS program. That is both impossible and unnecessary. Topics such as "Memorization Technique," "Common Errors to Avoid," and the "Policy" section reprinted below are easily comprehended by themselves once more fundamental building blocks of approach are in place. However, even these disparate subjects are necessarily alluded to as part of indoctrination into a system that is fully integrated.
