Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! This is the second episode in a two-part series on getting ready for exams. Last time, we talked about outlining, creating study materials, and applying those study materials to a fact pattern. Today, we’re focusing on how to actually write an exam answer.
In this episode we discuss:
- What professors look for in your exam answers, and what to make sure to avoid doing
- A sample Criminal Law hypo
- Planning and outlining before you start writing
- The elements of the IRAC/CRAC/CREAC structures
- Five key things related to a solid exam answer
