The Executive Juris Doctor Degree

The Executive Juris Doctor Degree

Welcome! My name is Shane Patrick Irvine and I am both the author, narrator and cartoonist of The Executive Juris Doctor Degree. I consider this collection of law courses to be similar, if not the same, as what one would learn in a traditional law school, seeking a Juris Doctor degree.

This series of courses have been streamlined to teach how the system of law works as a whole. It does not go into the ad infinitive argument of breaking down all of the idiosyncrasies that go along with traditional classroom study. For the intended level of study students will merely need to listen through with an open mind. Every time one listens, more information is absorbed and the picture becomes increasingly more clear. Once the student comes to understand the separate disciplines, they will be better prepared to learn how to organize their thought process and, ultimately, learn how to think like a lawyer. While the information provided in law school takes years  of study and is designed to make students professional experts in each of the requisite disciplines of law, these classes are designed to cover the various doctrines of law with the goal of structuring thought processes, to learn how to balance utility versus risks [able to argue from both sides], and thus, learn to think like a lawyer.

The Executive Juris Doctor Degree certificate is available exclusively on Udemy. The classes in the flagship series consists of the following:

• Tort law - The study of intentional wrongs, negligence and strict liability.

• Criminal law - The study of crimes against persons and property and the elements of culpability;

• Contracts law - The study of the formation of contracts and the legal and equitable remedies available;

• Corporations law - The study of organizational business entities, their attributes of personage, survivability, and how they can be utilized to protect assets;

• Property law - The study of moveable property (chattels) and immovable property (real estates), the acquisition of property,  and the rights of landlords and tenants;

• Family law - The study of community property, prenuptial agreements, and child custody issues;

• Civil Procedure - The study of the process of how civil cases are filed, the discovery process, rules of court and, how such cases advance through the court system;

• Criminal Procedure - The study of the process of how criminal cases are filed, the discovery process, rules of court and, how such cases advance through the court system;

• Evidence - The study of the admissibility of evidence and the exceptions to the rule against hearsay;
