How to solve a legal question? 1. Start with the facts: • read carefully and understand the facts as they determine the relevance of any legal points you make later. 2. Identify the relevant legal issues: • what are the parties fighting about? What needs to be resolved? e.g. is the contract enforceable? Has A committed a tort against B? • the order of issues matters, e.g. was there an offer? Was there an acceptance? • deal with one issue at a time 3. Discuss the law relevant to the issue: • is there a legal principle, rule or test relevant? State it in the abstract without referring to the facts yet 4. Apply the law to the facts: • identify the relevant facts. • application = law + facts • drives to your conclusion, which resolves the “issue”
