How to structure your law scenario-based assignment
Introduction 1. Identify the area(s) of law & broad legal issue(s). Please see example student
assignment (look at task 1)
2. Be concise. It is sufficient to identify the relevant area(s) of law and the legal issue(s).
Avoid going into detail.
Advise the relevant party, with reference to legal authority (e.g. case law & legislation), key
Conclusion legal principles, and reasoning you have previously discussed. Consider any remedies, as
appropriate.
Your conclusion will be reasonably brief, as your reasoning should be well explained in the
body of the mini essay.
