Concluding your answer
In most problem questions (as in the examples we shall be considering shortly) you will be asked either to advise one or more of the parties, or to discuss the legal issues which arise from the facts.
If you are required to give advice, you may feel that once you have identified the issues, selected and applied the relevant law and produced a logical answer following the steps outlined above, it will be obvious to the examiner what your advice will be. Nevertheless, you should conclude your answer with a short paragraph containing your advice. Similarly, if the question requires you to discuss the legal issues arising from the facts, you should conclude with a short summary of the issues you have been discussing.This four-fold approach to answering problems is not a quick fix solution. It does not help you avoid attending lectures and tutorials or seminars, nor does it exempt you from extending your knowledge of the law through appropriate library work. However, it does help you put your knowledge to good use.
