A quick definition of law reporter:

A law reporter is a book that contains written accounts of court proceedings and judicial decisions. These books can be official, meaning they are published by the government, or unofficial, meaning they are published by a private company. They are used by lawyers and judges to research past cases and make decisions in current cases. Think of it like a history book for the law!

A more thorough explanation:

A law reporter is a published volume of judicial decisions made by a particular court or group of courts. These decisions are first printed in temporary paperback volumes and then printed in hardbound reporter volumes. Law reports may be either official, published by a government entity, or unofficial, published by a private publisher. Court citations frequently include the names of both the official and unofficial reports.

  • The U.S. Reports is an example of a law reporter that contains published decisions made by the United States Supreme Court.
  • When a court makes a decision, it is recorded and published in a law reporter for future reference and use by lawyers and judges.

These examples illustrate how law reporters are used to document and publish judicial decisions made by courts. They serve as a reference for lawyers and judges to use in future cases and provide a historical record of legal decisions.

ooo i have advice from a 169 scorer. basically with RC the main things you need to do to prepare are to pretend what youre reading is the most interesting thing ever, and prepare by reading more fiction (for adults)
eggan
16:17
novels like metamorphosis, brave new world, no longer human, crime & punishment, those kinds of novels for adults with complex language structure will be helpful (im just listing books i like but you can read anything)

Also also, at the same time, the biglaw lawyers increasingly are going "fuck these t30 hires are really good (the non accommodated 160s who would be t14 people in 2008 over these accommodated 170s in the t14 lmfao)" lolololol Also for RC just the more you do the better you are.

Sometimes my mind just goes blank when staring at an RC passage
16:21
what helped me most for RC was that the right answer will always be in the passage, even if its only implied
16:21
so you just have to justify your answer choice with specific line support
