In one of Stoid’s many threads one of you (Kimmy Gibbler? Bricker? Mr Excellent?) discussed the “when under does” way of writing. And one of you posted a link to a most excellent site, which I read and really found helpful, so I thought to myself, “I shall bookmark this, for I have an assignment due next month!”
Then either I did not, or I did not do it correctly.
As you might guess, “when under does” is really hard to search for.
Would whoever posted the link take pity on me and repost it please? Because that’s legal advice I really need.
I love it, it is as much awesome as I thought it would be (without a hint of sarcasm, I have wanted this as long as I can remember.) Ask me again next year or the year after, though.
I’m in LI yes, but also Criminal Law and Procedure, which is more interesting. Although I have just started the statutory interpretation bit of LI, which I really like.
Thanks for asking.
The link that somebody put up (who?? if I knew who I could find it) was about legal writing specifically, and it looked really good. I’m using IRAC currently (issues, rules, application, conclusion) but it won’t quite fit what I need for Crim.
The thing is there is NO handholding, and no real support, this course is really sink or swim. Which I kind of like, but sometimes you get stuff like this, where a prof with office hours would be useful.
I haven’t looked at the rest of the site, but it is a decent presentation of how to formulate an Issue Statement/Questions Presented section. Here’s an example of it in action:
Thanks so much, Kimmy Gibbler. I had had a look at the rest of the blog and there are some seemingly good tips in there for people who know how to write, but not how to write about the law (which, I am discovering, are two different things.)
