The IIS can help you learn how to brief cases for class or understand how briefs fit into the larger picture. Individual help and workshops are available for the asking. Here's more on what's available now and how it works. Workshops Improving Case Briefs and Class Notes Now that you have some experience with law classes and reading cases, you can begin to refine your case briefs, adapting them to fit the needs of each class and to make the briefing process more efficient.
