493: A Legal Writing Makeover (Part 4 – The Conclusion)


Listen Later

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! This is the final 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 covered the issue statement, rule statement, and analysis section, and today we finish off with the conclusion.

In this episode we discuss:

  • A review of a sample exam answer
  • How to write a good conclusion that earns you the maximum points on an exam
