RC Question 14 Explanation
DISCUSSION: Personal stories are subjective, and more emotional than traditional legal stories. They depend on an individual’s beliefs and experiences.
___________
- Nonsense. The scholars think objectivism is wrong. We should get rid of it and replace it with personal stories (lines 44-45).
- CORRECT. Traditional legal training deemphasizes experience (lines 41-43). Personal narrative would allow people to tell their stories despite differences in background and training.
- Adversarial discourse is never mentioned. This answer choice is drawing on your outside assumption that the law is an adversarial process. Also, line 52-54 say that personal stories will shatter the tranquility of the legal profession.
- The scholars don’t think there is a single accurate set of facts. That’s an objectivist belief.
- Lines 41-45 say that objectivist legal discourse didn’t allow emotion or experience. That’s pretty close to expectations, values and beliefs. However, this answer has a massive flaw. It isn’t comparing personal stories to legal discourse. It’s comparing personal stories to all other forms of discourse. We have no idea how personal narratives compare to those.
I think the credited response to this question is actually (B), instead of (E), according to the LSAC LawHub answer guide. As such, I just wished to let you know accordingly. Thank you!
Oops, thank you. I have added this to the list for fixes.
Note: This is an old comment but I wanted to address the point.
