the path to knowledge begins with humbleness !..Always Question everything (especially Authority)....Ps, Knowing something requires more than just data, but intelligence or reasoning applied to that data....

[bolabus]

hey freedom,do you wana know a good one ? ps,if you sent me a pm,i cant access it

[freedombiteback]

@bolabus Jewtube Censorship at work my friend...

[freedombiteback]

@bolabus A person is created at birth through a Birth Certificate ! (persona), this is why under Admiralty/Maritime Law (Statutes/Act's from Parliament) a person is a Corporation !.Anything you have with your name in all full CAPS (grammatically incorrect = wrong = not you) is your fictitious person(a), and not you the living being (Man/Woman).You don't even own the car you paid for, look at the DVLA Certificate, you are the KEEPER !,(look up definition) and NOT the owner!.Ps, a slave cannot own

[bolabus]

@freedombite a slave also cannot contract,and serves only 1 master

[freedombiteback]

@bolabus Under the laws of Rome (Admiralty/Maritime laws) a Slave can be contracted out at any time(NI).The master is the State(NWO),and we are the Corporations(slaves).If you were free why would you need a piece of paper with words on it to travel ?(driving license, which is your con-tract), the roads are so-called public highways remember !?.We have Inalienable Rights as we are the children of God !,but when you have no faith (Media con-ditioned away) you will fall for anything !, as slaves do

[bolabus]

@freedombiteback ah,your getting confused man,inalienable rights are transferable, "un" alienable rights cannot be taken away sold or anything,youve much learning to do bud

[freedombiteback]

@bolabus Correct, life is about knowledge, but the path to knowledge begins with humbleness !...You will find i am right my friend.. ''un'' <--look up definition..Anyway...We are born with '' Inalienable Rights '', endowed to us by our Creator !, there not given to us, nor can it be given away, the most a Man/Woman can do with their Rights is to choose weather to exorcise it or not !..

[bolabus]

@freedombiteback from bouviers - UNALIENABLE. The state of a thing or right which cannot be sold.

2. Things which are not in commerce, as public roads, are in their nature unalienable. Some things are unalienable, in consequence of particular provisions in the law forbidding their sale or transfer, as pensions granted by the government. The natural rights of life and liberty are unalienable.,,,,,,

[bolabus]

@bolabus again,from bouviers - INALIENABLE. This word is applied to those things, the property of which cannot be lawfully transferred from one person to another. Public highways and rivers are of this kind; there are also many rights which are inalienable, as the rights of liberty, or of speech.

[freedombiteback]

@bolabus lol Un-available ''are in their nature un-alienable'' or Un-obtainable ,again look up definition of ''UN'' .Whereas, my rights are Inalienable !.And i'll state yet again the path to knowledge begins with humbleness !.whereas, a fool leans upon his/her own misunderstandings !.Ps, Bouvier definition is correct, but it seems your misunderstand the meaning ..Continue..

[freedombiteback]

Continue..UNALIENABLE. The state of a thing or right which cannot be sold.

Things which are not in commerce, as public roads, are in their nature unalienable.This means material things (not living things), like my house is UNALIENABLE, because i choose not to sale it !.Simply look up the definition of inalienable rights then, if you have trouble understanding what '' UN '' means.inalienable:That cannot be transferred to another or others: inalienable rights.Ps, funny bud..

[freedombiteback]

@bolabus Here one i uploaded earlier --->watch?v=J-kWOZ5y8AU  Admiralty law, Common Law And Our Sovereign Birthright..

[freedombiteback]

Could someone tell us the difference between legal and Lawful ? please...Peace...

[bolabus]

@freedombiteback legality is not reality,that simple buddy

[freedombiteback]

@bolabus Illegal is fictitious and Lawful/Unlawful are Bona-Fide Law.......What's the difference between A Crime and an Offense ?......

[bolabus]

@freedombiteback why do you complicate the answer i gave,,? what does the maxim say,are you gonna argue with the maxim ?

[freedombiteback]

@bolabus (Maxim/CLJ) They are the laws which gave rise and origin to that collection of maxims and customs which is now known by the name of common law..Ps, maxim/CLJ are Bona-fide Laws ! here in the UK and All Commonwealth Countries...

[bolabus]

@freedombiteback - What's the difference between A Crime and an Offense ?......why dont you tell me in one sentance what the difference is.

[freedombiteback]

@bolabus A Crime is Unlawful (Common law Jurisdiction), whereas, an Offense (deception !) is Corporate Law (Admiralty/Maritime), which is only given the Force of law by Consent !...What is the difference between a MAN and A PERSON ? (in law/Legalese)....

[bolabus]

@freedombiteback which leads on to - # Where truth is, fiction of law does not exist.

[LizzieAguiar11]

I want to be a a criminal lawyer, but I'm not so sure about it anymore...It seems so difficult :/

[osyrus99]

DOGGY is the only want to do it.

[hurting]

This is retarded. Law exams are graded on a curve. The only way to get an "A" is to write an exam that's better than 80-90% of the other ones. There is no method.

[da006]

You're right... an "A" is to write better than 90% of the class, and what is judged "better" is entirely subjective and determined by the professor.

[lhiggs]

DRAC, IRAC, CRAC, CREAC, are only methods to help in organization and, of course, are not the only ways to get an A on a law school exam. Even students using the same method will write very different answers. However, professors like to see both sides to every argument, no matter how the answer is organized. But given the tension and anxiety a test creates, it's helpful to have an organizational method you're comfortable with when scrambling to write like the wind for three hours straight.

[Maniaticazo]

which means that if you don't learn how to IRAC you will end at the very bottom of the curve. I like having people that think like you in my law school, they help me get an A by being at the very bottom.

[hurting]

@Maniaticazo

Actually I'm in the top 5% of my class for the third semester. I don't use formulaic methods like IRAC because I don't find I need them. If they help you that's fine - whatever works.

[hurting]

@Maniaticazo My only point is that calling this "How to Get an A on a Law School Issue-Spotter Exam" is ridiculous because everyone knows about IRAC and everyone is subject to the curve. It's true that if you write an aimless, meandering answer you're going to wind up at the bottom, and IRAC may help you avoid that, but it's neither necessary nor sufficient to an A. HTMFH.

[TheCakelicious]

@hurting

that's so true it is all about competition !

[lhiggs]

IRAC is good but it's too linear and risks missing issues. I like DRAC instead: Dispute

Rule(s)

Arguments -Factual Arguments (for both sides) -Legal Arguments (for both sides)

 -Policy Arguments (for both sides)

Conclusion

DRAC: the better way to an A.

[basketboi87]

Good info. Looking for the disputes/events/transactions helps you identify and discuss more issues. Also with analysis I found that drawing inferences from facts scores points. For example, Instead of saying "The fact that jobs will be lost is important", instead say "by having jobs, you can infer workers are paying taxes which will stimulate the local economy."

[eabde001]

IHIGGS - isnt it true most law prof dont want to hear policy args since they have no bearing on outcome?

[lhiggs]

I'm not sure your premise about policy arguments having no bearing on outcome is correct. Appellate level courts certainly do take public policy into consideration when making their decisions. For example, a major public policy in Property law is the most efficient use of property, and so a court will keep this in mind because it wants to make sure its decision promotes this policy. But for purposes of the exam, I wouldn't make too much of PP unless my prof really emphasized it in class.

[lhiggs]

Also, given the limited amount of exam time, I reserve PP arguments till the end and use them to bolster my previous arguments if I still have time.

[kfundu]

I agree. IRAC is a natural, but i need content. Where do I get cheap streaming videos of first year course materials?
