How to brief a case and survive a cold call

1. Read the case once for the big picture before you brief it.
2. Brief it: facts, issue, rule, holding, reasoning, disposition.
3. Skim the notes and questions after the case — cold calls often come from there.
4. Know the rule cold and one policy argument on each side.
5. If called on, pause two seconds, state the issue, then the rule, then apply the facts.
6. It is fine to say "I think, but I am not sure" — never fabricate a holding.
