I am interested to know what you think of this one. For the Mintel readings=
,=20
the Syllabus says, "Candidates will not be tested on details of cases=20
mentioned only briefly, but will be responsible for knowledge of cases=20
treated in some depth." My question is: What is "some depth?" One paragraph=
?=20
One page? Four sentences?

My rule of thumb has been that ones which are greater than half of a page=20
should be looked at more closely. Also, the ones which have the published=20
opinion from one of the justices involved (usually at the end of the=20
chapter) should be studied closely. Any other thoughts on this one? What ha=
s=20
worked or not worked for you? These readings are the types of ones that=20
someone can easily get bogged down on.

Thanks.
