The Law School Toolbox Podcast: Tools for Law Students from 1L to the Bar Exam, and Beyond

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! This is the second episode in a two-part series on getting ready for exams. Last time, we talked about outlining, creating study materials, and applying those study materials to a fact pattern. Today, we're focusing on how to actually write an exam answer.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What professors look for in your exam answers, and what to make sure to avoid doing
  • A sample Criminal Law hypo
  • Planning and outlining before you start writing
  • The elements of the IRAC/CRAC/CREAC structures
  • Five key things related to a solid exam answer
