I know you guys are deep in LSAT study mode. I just want to provide some perspective of why you are studying the things we're teaching you like argumentation and logic.

Here's a video I made summarizing what likely will be the very first case you read in law school. I hope this video will give you some perspective of why we teach you the skills that we do in our Core Curriculum.

    Hypothetically speaking in a scenario where Parker is the captain and everything else is held the same. Parker, recognizing their dire situation and given his weak health, decided under his own volition to sacrifice his body so the other three men could live. But he would need them to murder him because his religion strictly forbids suicide (his own interpretation of his religion would not consider consenting to his own murder as suicide).

    Could this murder be considered justified by necessity?

    Does this hypothetical scenario weaken their morality argument? Allowing this excuse to murder, law and morality will not be divorced. Parker is performing his moral duty to his crew by sacrificing himself.

    OR.... Do I need to go study more?....I am going to go study.

    Professor J.Y reporting it. That was a very thorough explanation and very interesting. Can't wait to analyse cases like this once in law school (fingers crossed).
