THEORY MODULE Document- Casebook for the Deconstruction
During the Theory Module, students are trained to see every LSAT question as a weighted sum of issues. Accordingly, LSAT questions are classified according to the issues they contain, and presented within a single text called The Casebook for the Deconstruction, which was first published in 1991. Our unique LSAT Casebook is organized along the lines of any law school textbook, hence it contains (i)LSAT questions classified by issue (or combination of issues), (ii)typical as well as boundary cases for each issue, and (iii)methods for solving each LSAT question by spotting the issue most relevant to that question. Our unique and concise organization enables students to master the LSAT by studying a single text. The Casebook is also governed by a set of visually memorable maps that connect each issue to semantics that trigger the issue. thereby establishing a comprehensive semantic net for the LSAT. The semantic net that 30 years of research have identified and connected through a system of maps, is not only useful for the LSAT, but crucial to the study and practice of law. This is why The Binary Solution is both a answer to the LSAT and a theory of law. Indeed, the issue-based maps that were completed in 2008 by our Founder, predict the current path of the LSAT even better than some of its earlier versions. Basically, if an issue has been on the LSAT, we have a map for it in The Casebook.
APPLICATION MODULE Database- Official LawHub
During the Application Module, the most recent, actual LSATs (aka Preptests) are assigned, along with any older exams that our predictive model deems most relevant. Students are assigned at least 35 practice LSATs for homework and expected to take these exams in the recently created Official LawHub, which contains over 70 past LSATs.
LSAC is now offering the Official LSAT Prep Plus --commonly referred to as the LawHub-- which costs only $99 and offers one year of access to 70+ actual, past LSATs formatted exactly like the current Digital Tablet LSAT. Our students are required to register for this online platform so that they may practice for the LSAT under the most realistic circumstances by using the authentic test interface. This is the only external resources that our students are required to obtain, and LSAC requires candidates establish and LSAC account in order to purchase the LawHub
RECOMMENDED READING
The following books will help develop skills that are useful on the LSAT and in law school, and their relevant parts have been incorporated into our materials. Students are however encouraged to consult these original texts in order to deepen their understanding of the subject matter, and to eventually excel as attorneys.
