Blank template

Same topic order as the five filled outlines. Empty on purpose. The boxes on this page are that template.

New York memo, both drafts

Civil Rights Law § 51. First draft and the revised draft, so the changes are visible. Question, brief answer, facts, discussion, conclusion.

Maryland memo

The memo that sits with the opinion. Same problem, written as a memo, not as a speech.

Judicial opinion

Non-compete. Summary judgment. Read it next to the Maryland memo. Posture, holding, and the order of the reasoning.

The blank set

Pick a course. Fill the outline, flip the cards, or take the quiz.

Empty on purpose. 12 topics, same order as the filled outline in the file. Saved on this device.

Outlining 101

The filled outlines in the file use this order. Yours should too.

  1. 01

    The top of the page

    Course. Professor. Exam date. If you do not know the date, write look it up. Then look it up.

  2. 02

    The rule, in your words

    Short enough to say out loud. Do not paste the Restatement and call it studying.

  3. 03

    Elements as numbers

    The way your professor splits them. Not the way a commercial outline splits them.

  4. 04

    One case, two lines

    The holding, and why it matters. A paragraph is a page you will not reread.

  5. 05

    One hypo sentence

    The facts your professor keeps coming back to.

  6. 06

    Same day

    After class. The box opens the day you learned it. Not in October.

  7. 07

    Saturday

    Close the page. Say the elements. If you stall, it is not done.

Do not

  • Highlight the whole casebook.
  • Retype a commercial outline.
  • Invent a case you cannot place.
  • Wait for reading period.
  • Turn a filled page in as your own work.
