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.
