It’s a very good idea to make easy for the evaluer to see the issues which you’ve discerned. One way to accomplish this objective is to cover no more than one issue per paragraph. Another way is to underline each issue statement. Provide (time permits, both techniques are recommended.
One frequent error usually committed is to have a two-paragraph answer. All of the one side’s arguments are made in the initial paragraph; and all of the other party’s rebuttal contentions are described in the next paragraph.
This is no wise. It obliges the evaluer to reconstruct the exam answer to determine what arguments each party made with respect to each issue. It will also cause you to state the same rule of law more than once. Thus, it is organizationally superior to “break-out” the issues or legal problems on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis.
