You’re going to write a lot of case briefs in law school, so you might as well start practicing now. In this medium-difficulty class, we analyze an RC passage using a case-briefing framework to discover the author’s “holding” (main point).

Highlights
In today’s class, we gamified our RC study by approaching the passage as if the author penned their judicial opinion.
On today’s docket: Powwow Culture Analysis v. Pan-Indian Theory. We explored the facts and reasoning that led the judge to dismiss some sociologists’ claims about powwows and Native American culture, ultimately ruling against the Pan-Indian Theory. We also learned that our role isn’t to argue for answer choices but to assume they’re wrong until they prove otherwise. Armed with the insights from our case brief and a solid approach, the questions pleaded no contest.

Attending Robert's classes is truly a breath of fresh air for me, personally. As someone who is aiming for a similar score jump, I am not only optimistic but also more determined than ever to not be tempted by the traps of the LSAT. His approach is so simple yet so skilled and that's the biggest advantage I see because anyone can emulate it! Check out Robert's class and you will thank yourself!Rabbani K.
Robert's really great at breaking down everything piece by piece and showing the process from a student's end as we actively think about these passages when reading them in real time. He's also super helpful when it comes to answering any questions!Joshua S.
Robert is the man. He breaks down the passage part by part and then picks apart the argument. His approach helps us truly understand what we're reading so we can destroy these questions.Rachel B.
Robert is so careful with how he articulates himself, in particular the manner in which he provides feedback. He is a great instructor, and never rushes students or the process of learning!Spencer B.
Robert is extremely passionate. His explanations provide so many "aha" moments. You will leave his class with a sense of clarity and purpose.Anonymous
Robert explains things soooo clearly! He is an incredible instructor.Zeina S.
Robert is so great at stripping down rc passages. he teaches us to dissect what the lsat gives us into a 'common sense' approach. There is no need to be intimidated by the sometimes convoluted language, when you take a second to think about the point of each sentence. The way he reads aloud, and asks question in between sentences, is SO helpful. I want to emulate his style of reading comprehension with every passageSpencer B.
Every class with Robert, you go in to learn one new thing , but you end up learning five. He brings high energy every class, and is opportunistic with teaching concepts to all students regardless of level.Demonda I.
He makes it so simple with his step-by-step process when it comes to LR and is really good at getting you to become an active reader and attacking the questions.Shriya R.
Robert is an amazing teacher! He is kind, thoughtful, and very easy to talk to! Prior to his class, I often found myself frustrated when reading LR questions, but his advice on approaching each question as a conversation with the author really helped to reorient the way I viewed the section and the test as a whole! Thankful to Robert for all his help!Shivraj S.
Genuinely one of my favourite tutors. Robert's advice is great, and he breaks down LR and even RC into very simple ways. He's always incredibly friendly and always willing to stay after and help answer questions for the class. I always look forward to Robert's class!Emma G.
Robert's guidance through passages is helpful while still leaving room for you to make inferences independently! He attacks questions masterfully and is very patient with students.
