Introduction to Rule Synthesis

In law school, students are expected to read multiple cases to identify rules that will be applied on exams. Using non-law sources, students will learn how to extract individual rules from multiple articles to create one synthesized rule that can be used to solve new problems.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of the lesson, the student will be able to:

1. Identify factors and elements of the rule in specific cases.
2. Extract the rule from individual cases.
3. Create a synthesized rule using multiple cases.
4. Apply a synthesized rule to new cases to predict an outcome.
