[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 380, member: 1"] I would go into the doc management system (whatever your firm uses to store files) and search for 'memorandum'. You'll get a lot of hits but they'll all have the structure for a memorandum that you can use. You can also look through the results and try to find one that's more research-based. For the legal research task, use sub-headings to make it easy to read. If you link to other cases, make sure you read over what happened in those cases as yiou may be you're asked about it - I had the same task on a vac scheme and I couldn't answer his questions when he asked about the other cases. Keep your writing simple and to the point. If you feel confident, add your own opinions to the implications and justify those points. Unless the person that set you the work has asked you otherwise, it's usually good to print the work and give him or her a copy by hand. Before you do this, make sure you print it and read over it to check if there are any typos - it's very common for vac schemers to forget and it looks bad if they have some. When you give it in consider asking the person who set you the work if you can ask some questions: that shows initiative, gives you a chance to build a rapport with the person and could lead to more work. So as you're writing it, try to think of questions you can ask - it can be anything you don't understand, just make sure it's an informed question. [/QUOTE]
