This
Internet tutorial is designed to give you an introduction to how the Socratic
method works in a first year Torts Law class in law school. A "tort"
is a wrong committed against another. Imagine that you have been assigned to
Professor Palacios's Torts class, and that this will be the very first class
you attend in law school. Professor Palacios has assigned Big Town v.
Newman to her students, a false imprisonment case argued in a Texas
appellate court. Professor Palacios expects that all the students in the class
have read the case carefully (which means more than one time for beginning law
students) and have done their best to brief the case (write an outline of the
legal issues) before coming to class. Professor Palacios expects to be able to
call on any student in class, and through a series of questions and responses
to the student's answers to those questions, help all the students in the
class understand the case they have been assigned to read. |
