[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 243677, member: 42112"] Hey! Whilst I have never completed a legal brief written assessment in the past, I've had a look online and I would say that a suitable structure could be: [LIST] [*][B]Title / Question: [/B]simply restate what you are advising on [*][B]Executive Summary: [/B]this involves 2-3 lines that outline your overall conclusion or recommendation. It is mainly there to quickly highlight the main parts of the legal brief to the reader. [*][B]Key Facts: [/B]I would only outline the facts that are relevant to the issue, to ensure that the reader is only seeing the information that they need. [*][B]Issue:[/B] identify the main legal (and any commercial) issues, making sure to prioritise them in order of importance to the client / supervisor. [*][B]Analysis: [/B]I would then address each issue in turn, and apply the facts to discuss what the consequences of the issues could be (e.g. opportunities and challenges). [*][B]Risks:[/B] following the analysis, you could then outline the key risks that arise overall. [*][B]Conclusion and Recommendation: [/B]I would end your answer with a clear and practical recommendation (that makes sense based on what you have discussed in the legal brief), and recommend any practical next steps that the reader could take (whether that is the client or a supervisor). [/LIST] If you make sure that your answer is well-structured and has a logical flow, I'm sure you'll do great - best of luck!! :) [/QUOTE]
