Keep the following in mind when drafting your essay:
1) When addressing legal opinions, use the IRAC method. IRAC stands for Issue, Rules, Analysis (sometimes referred to as application), Conclusion. Discussing an opinion using an IRAC will ensure that you address the relevant aspects of each opinion. 2) Write the essay in a manner where it is clear you understand the concept. Repeating concepts from the text does not illustrate to me that you understand the material. The best essays will include an example or illustration of the concept discussed.
3) NO PLAGIARISM! Remember that, even when discussing case law or information from the text book, you must quote and cite any material taken directly from the case. As a general rule, keep quotations to 10% or less and paraphrase all other relevant information.
