IRAC Analysis (2 pages, described below)
Reaction Paragraph
Do you believe the judge came to the correct conclusion?
Are there any missing facts which would help sway someone to your position?
IRAC stands for Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion, and it's a method for organizing legal analysis so that the reader can follow your argument. You should organize your IRAC analysis into four labeled sections as follows:
Issue
State the question or problem that you are trying to answer (what might bring the parties into court). This can be in the form of a question or a statement depending on what your reader prefers.
Rule
State the rule or legal principle. This may take the form of stating the elements required for a prima facie case.
Analysis
State your evidence and explain how you will arrive at your conclusion. You should cite to the case law presented in the module, discuss policy implications, and discuss any cases that run counter to your conclusion.
Make sure that you weigh both sides and make counterarguments where appropriate.
Use case law, analogizing and distinguishing, and policy (for example, the goals of tort law) to work your way to a conclusion.
Conclusion
State your conclusion as a result of the analysis.
