Bar 2023 Syllabus in the  discussions tab  defaults to Expand All To save clicks, the bar 2023 syllabus now defaults to Expand All.

Discussions Tab Additions and Discuss a Question Page - MVP

Image
  For this weekend, I'm able to optimize the performance of the Discussions tab and added SEO component to the page to make it search engine friendly. I've also fixed the URL pointing to the question discussion page for each of the questions.  Still this is in it's MVP form however, it should already make it handy to  navigate through the official 2023 Bar syllabus to find relevant questions for each topic. This Bar 2023 syllabus is derived from the official publications found in the Judiciary website.   Question Discussion Page MVP Upon clicking on the question hyperlinks, it will lead to the corresponding discussion page of that question. Again for now this is just the MVP form of this page, not much to do here but next few enhancements will focus on this feature. And my wish is to quickly integrate this with our official facebook page.
