Equity & Trusts
A deliberately focused course — equity grew up as the common law’s flexible supplement (recalling the History of Law course’s coverage of the Court of Chancery), and trusts are its single most important lasting invention. Every module follows the same shape: visualize the material, drill it, then apply it — no passive video lectures, no AI-generated answers, just structured, interactive exercises you can revisit as many times as you need. This course is part of the All-Access Membership.
