Fellow law-people, do you think this is a good way to help my students understand how to structure IRAC/CRAC?
![What you may think C/IRAC is:
1. Every conclusion and/or issue
2. Every rule for every issue
3. Every analysis for every issue
4. Every conclusion
What C/IRAC actually is:
1. Overarching conclusion and/or issue(s)
2. Big picture version of rules, primarily to signpost memo structure
3. No ‘overall’ analysis paragraph, but instead breaks down into sections for:
a. 1st issue or step of test
i. Conclusion and/or issue paragraph(s)
ii. Rule paragraph(s)
iii. Analysis paragraph(s), which can be broken into subsections with their own C/IRAC if needed
iv. Conclusion paragraph(s)
b. 2nd issue or step of test
i. Conclusion and/or issue paragraph(s)
ii. Rule paragraph(s)
iii. Analysis paragraph(s), which can be broken into subsections with their own C/IRAC if needed
iv. Conclusion paragraph(s)
c. [Rinse and repeat for all issues and/or steps of test]
4. Overall conclusion](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rwrrasrl3upu35p63wdbst3h/bafkreihijlkqe3xn3itelxznz7e7skykopbgauc57hxjlwecgjt2fxamzu@jpeg)

HOLY SHIT their responses to peer review are sooooo disingenuous.
First, they put levels A (10.6%) and B (47.5%) together to muddy the waters. Second, they assert as obvious that trans care can’t be B, even though it absolutely constitutes “consistent evidence from multiple observational studies.”

I understand why the HHS didn’t want to reveal the authorship of its anti-trans report. I’d’ve been embarrassed too.

My first thought was—Adam is blood void dust. Eve is bone. Cain and Abel are abyss. Rot is the ground itself. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

The level of ignorance involved in the term “Nazi Socialism” is deeply insulting and frankly smacks of 4chan antisemitism.

You truly have to appreciate the fact that the Torah writes the exact same name twice in a row and somehow manages to spell it differently.

Since one of youse doesn’t believe me, let’s analyze. The Hebrew is וְהָיָה הָאִישׁ הַהוּא תָּם וְיָשָׁר which can be translated as: “And that man was […or 'will be'] tam and yashar.”
The question is, what do ‘tam’ and ‘yashar’ mean? Let’s ask BDB. Tam? Morally innocent. Yashar? Straight.
I REST MY CASE.
