Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! This is the third episode of a four-part series called "Legal Writing Makeover." In this complete series, we take a piece of legal writing that could use improvement and transform it into legal writing A+, one section of IRAC at a time. Previously we discussed the issue statement and rule statement, and today we continue with the analysis section.

In this episode we discuss:

• An analysis section from a sample exam answer
• How to write a good analysis that earns you the maximum points on an exam
