Lectures For Lifelong Learners!

Please join attorney and law professor Henry Webb for an interactive, one-hour discussion of the “IRAC” method of legal analysis. IRAC, which stands for Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion, is the method most lawyers use to analyze complicated legal issues. Using a hypothetical fact pattern involving a client charged with a crime, Professor Webb will demonstrate how to use the IRAC method, including the application of a criminal statute and relevant case law, to determine the likely outcome of the client’s case. Together with Professor Webb, you will then use the IRAC method to analyze a significant case that is currently in the news. If you’ve ever been curious about how lawyers analyze cases in the real world, this will be an informative and entertaining discussion for you.
