Time budget
- Floor
- Recovery only. If any prior-class doctrine is incomplete, finish it here. ~40–60 min depending on what's outstanding.
- Target
- Recovery + practice problems on recent material. No cold-calls; worked-example mode. ~75 min.
- Ceiling
- Target + preview of the next module's reading + one open-ended discussion question. Full ~110 min.
By the end of this class, you can
- Surface lingering Module I-IV questions by writing a one-paragraph statement of the doctrine the student still finds hardest to apply.
- Identify, with citation to R2d or UCC, the rule the student would most want the cold-caller to use on the next exam.
- Restate the holding of one Module I-IV case in two sentences without consulting the casebook.
A flex day with no new doctrine. The room sets the agenda. If any case or rule from Modules I through IV ran short on its assigned day, we finish it here; otherwise the time goes to practice and to orienting for the spring.
How the time is used
- Recovery first. If the formation, consideration, or defenses material is incomplete, that takes priority.
- Practice, not cold-call. Worked-example mode: we walk fact patterns through the stacked gates from Classes 23 and 24 together, on the board.
- Optional preview. If time remains, an early look at Module V (interpretation), which the spring opens with.
Bring one question
Come with one thing you cannot yet answer cleanly from a fall case — a rule you would want the cold-caller to use, or a holding you cannot restate in two sentences without the casebook. The objectives for the day are exactly that: surface the doctrine you still find hardest to apply and pin it down before the break.
Class 26 closes the fall and bridges into the spring sequence.
