The letters stand for the four components of a legal brief or exam response: Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion. Millions of law students learn the IRAC method every year and they use it to write dry little briefs arguing whether or not X breached a contract to make widgets for Ms. Y. It probably wasn&#8217;t intended to be employed as a means for a horny law student to argue, via Craigslist, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.craigslist.org\/about\/best\/lax\/1361917175.html\">why she and a fellow student should totally do each other<\/a>, but modern lust knows no rules. Here&#8217;s an excerpt: <\/p>\n<p><b>ISSUE:  <\/p>\n<p>Should we have wild, crazy, meaningless animal sex?  <\/p>\n<p>RULE:  <\/p>\n<p>Distractions can be very detrimental to success in law school, and should be eliminated whenever possible.  <\/p>\n<p>ANALYSIS:  <\/p>\n<p>As detailed above in the facts, my desire to be plowed by you is a major distraction from my studies. It&#8217;s got to be a distraction to you as well since it&#8217;s probably unnerving to be stared at by a predatory sex-starved woman as if she wants to take a bite out of you. Per the above rule, this distraction to both of us needs to be eliminated for us to graduate from law school and pass the bar exam. <\/p>\n<p><\/b>It&#8217;s not Oliver Wendell Holmes, but it does demonstrate a good grasp of the IRAC method. With a little more focus, she might even make law review next spring.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, Craigslist, where were you when I was in law school? I get wistful when I think of all the hopelessly desperate ads I could have posted late at night in the vain hope that the cute blonde in Health Law would read them. <\/p>\n<p>Credit to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boingboing.net\/2009\/10\/29\/i-submit-this-brief.html\">BoingBoing<\/a> for the tip.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/img.zemanta.com\/pixy.gif?w=695\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IRAC is a mnemonic they teach you in first-year legal writing classes.
