2. Exam Advice Read question carefully
Outline answer before starting to write, so well structured
Pay attention to genre
Memo to partner different is different from appellate opinion
Include one or two-paragraph executive summary at the beginning
Summarize key conclusions and reasons for those conclusions
NOT just road map
Use headings to separate issues
Consider putting most important issues first
Make sure you justify your conclusions with reference to facts in the question
Take a break after completing your first draft
Go over one page outline/list of topics & issues to make sure you didn’t miss issues
Re-read the question and go over one-page outline again
Proofread and revise
Take a break
Reread question again, go over one-page outline again, revise again, proofread
