    Second, understanding the amgurent that lawyers made to the court is almost never important. This information is rarely included in law school text books anyway (except to the extent that you can figure out what the lawyers argued from the judge’s opinion). Also, it simply does not help you on an exam.Yeah, but it helps you in the practice of law. I thought that law students were supposed to learn how to be lawyers in law school. Perhaps not. That explains why B students make more money than A students. Acing an issue-spotter is not the same as learning to be a good lawyer. Writing and good lawyer’s answer on an issue spotter will, generally, get you a B.
