Pleased to have found your flow chart Eric - I am in the process of constructing something very similar for use by GCSE LAW students ( and myself ) - We just need more clarity of this sort to make the law & legal reasoning plainer and easier to understand - Regards
Colin

Hello Eric,
It is Feb 2009, Your efforts in adding this for everyone to use is nothing short of Saintly. I'm almost finished with Paralegal A.S. and your information is awesome. I'm sharing it with another student at IHCC, she just started, and like me when I started, when we hear "IRAC" method, were thinking war? Thank you again, Julie Misukanis

Hello Eric,
I am about to start Management Law which requires IRAC layout for assignment work - this looks great and most especially - it's very clear and concise (which I like very much) and all on one page (which I like even more). Thanks for the resource - I am going to use it and share it around with my class mates.
Kind Regards, Stacey
