Legal Analysis

I found a very good article on legal analyis. Here is the the website .

I think where many students 'fall down' in their legal analysis is by:

1. Not stating the rules of law.

2. Not reviewing the facts given.

3. Not taking the facts and trying to fit them into the Rules of Law to see if they fit or not.

to simplify, QUOTE THE RULES, FIND THE FACTS, FIT THE FACTS (OR NOT) TO THE RULES, AND THEN CONCLUDE

Hope this helps in your legal analysis. prof. J.
