1. Some follow-up on this idea:

Problem: more students want critical context for their 1L courses than there are 1L courses with this context.

My proposed partial solution: A free study aid--written for a student audience--keyed to core 1L casebook cases, giving this context. https://twitter.com/aznchew/status/1352986450829205504

2. What exists: There are resources for law teachers about why and how to add this context to the courses they teach. This BU symposium is an awesome example.

https://www.bu.edu/law/2019/12/12/racial-bias-disparities-and-oppression-in-the-1l-curriculum/

Needed, tho, are teachers who change their courses in this way. But:

3. A barrier: A big course revamp takes thought, time, ability, and desire. Law teachers are people, and people right now are real short on thought and time. That will persist until "all this" is "better." https://twitter.com/meeradeo/status/1353035901060833280

4. Resources:
- Lots of folks have casebooks in the works with this context! And some already exist. (Integrating Property, for example, has been around for awhile.)
- Lots of 1L profs already tell students the critical context when using traditional casebooks.

So:

5. Maybe folks with expertise write 1-3 pages on "core" cases. The pages would be for 1L student eyes, not other professor eyes. Easy for tired students to consume. Like, I'm thinking of the study aids that have a one-page explanation of the case with a cartoon in the corner.

6. A symposium issue is one way to compile, but these could even just be connected by a hashtag. A free-for-students publisher ( @caliorg?) is another option.

Regardless, it should be free. Students already pay lots for casebooks plus books that explain what their casebooks mean.

7. Anyway, this is an idea out there for the taking! I am way overstretched rn personally and professionally, but I would love to see something exist like the free study aid described upthread. https://twitter.com/meeradeo/status/1350532357380583426
