3 Ways to Earn Extra Points on a Law-school Essay Exam

Dear 1L,

Don’t forget to answer these questions to earn extra points in your exam essays:

1. Is there a fact that, if different, would change your conclusion?

2. Would your conclusion differ if the case were judged at another time in history?

3. Would your conclusion differ if the case arose in another jurisdiction?

[This last one is N/A for federal Con Law purposes, but is key in courses where there are minority and majority approaches.]

🗳️ What other sources of extra exam points might you consider?

Fondly,
💌 Amanda
