Ep. 10 - Fischl & Paul - What is all this talk about issue spotting?

Professors Richard Michael Fischl (University of Connecticut School of Law) and Jeremy Paul (Northeastern University School of Law) are back this week to talk about the art of legal issue spotting. When students find themselves in law school, they tend to hear the term "issue spotting" very early on, even before they truly know what the term means or how to identify a legal issue. Professors Fischl and Paul are here to unravel any mystery around the concept of a legal issue and the activity of issue spotting for purposes of law school exams and beyond. Professors Fischl and Paul co-author the well-known and widely-recommended book "Getting to Maybe: How to Excel on Law School Exams," where they guide students through the exam process. The second edition of this law school classic book offers even more insights than its predecessor, particularly on components like a case briefing method they have fine-tuned over the years.You can purchase a copy of "Getting to Maybe" here.You can learn more about Professor Richard Michael Fischl here.You can learn more about Professor Jeremy Paul here.Please leave a five-star review on whatever platform you use to listen, and share this episode and our podcast with others on social media.
