In this episode ...Professor Orin Kerr, Professor of Law, Berkeley Law School, explains how to read a legal opinion. The episode is an exploration of Prof. Kerr's essential article, How To Read A Legal Opinion: A Guide For New Law Students, 11 Greenbag 2d 51 (2007). Professor Kerr discusses the parts of a brief, what aspects of a case matter to a law professor and emphasizes the need for learning the new language of the law. He acknowledges his own struggles with case law reading when he began law school (we both do), and encourages students to recognize the learning curve involved in reading a judicial opinion. Some key takeaways are...1. There is not necessarily a right answer in law school, so don't look for a "right answer" in a case.2. Facts matter, particularly the facts of a case that are relevant to the court's reasoning.3. Pay attention to a court's reasoning and don't discount the dissent.4. Reading cases isn't easy; we have all struggled with the experience!About our guest...Professor Orin Kerr joined the Berkeley Law faculty in 2019 after serving as the Frances R. and John J.

He is a tenured professor of law at George Washington University, where he teaches criminal law, criminal procedure and computer-crime law.
