IRAC (Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion) is the standard analytical framework for law school problem questions: you identify the legal issue, state the governing rule, apply it to the facts, and conclude. CREAC (Conclusion, Rule, Explanation, Application, Conclusion) is its memo-writing variant — the conclusion is stated first (bottom-line-up-front), then the rule is stated and explained, then applied. IRAC is preferred in exam answers; CREAC is preferred in legal memoranda and predictive writing because it serves a reader who needs to know the answer immediately before reading the analysis.

We support Bluebook (21st edition) for US law schools and courts, OSCOLA (4th edition) for UK and Commonwealth institutions, APA 7th edition legal citations for interdisciplinary programs, and Chicago footnote style for legal history and jurisprudence courses. Specify your institution and required style in your order form — if you’re unsure which to choose, tell us your university and country and we will advise.

Ratio decidendi (the “reason for the decision”) is the legal principle that is essential to the court’s holding. It constitutes binding precedent under stare decisis — later courts in the same hierarchy must follow it. Obiter dicta (things said “by the way”) are judicial statements that are not necessary to resolve the case before the court. Obiter dicta are persuasive but not binding — though a well-reasoned obiter statement from a superior court (like a UK Supreme Court judgment) can carry significant persuasive weight.

Yes. A legal memorandum is one of our most requested formats. It differs from an exam essay in structure (CREAC rather than IRAC), audience (an internal reader who needs a bottom-line answer, not a professor grading issue-spotting), and tone (objective and predictive rather than argumentative). We write office memos, research memos, and persuasive client-facing memos across all legal subjects and jurisdictions.

The correct canon depends on your jurisdiction. UK law primarily applies the purposive approach (and the mischief rule for older statutes), with Hansard evidence available under Pepper v Hart [1993] and s.3 HRA 1998 for human rights-compatible interpretation. US federal law presents a debate between textualism and purposivism — we can argue either or both. We apply the canon your professor expects, or model all relevant approaches comparatively if the question calls for it.

Yes — public international law, international humanitarian law (IHL), international human rights law (IHRL), treaty law under the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT), ICJ and ICC jurisdiction and procedure, and comparative constitutional analysis. We also cover EU law — Treaty provisions, secondary legislation, direct effect, supremacy, and CJEU case law — and the retained EU law framework in the UK post-Brexit.

A case brief is a structured summary of a judicial opinion — typically Facts, Issue, Rule/Holding, Rationale, and Disposition — used as a seminar preparation tool. It is descriptive. A case note (also called a case comment or case analysis) is a critical, analytical piece that summarises the case, contextualises it within existing doctrine, analyses the reasoning, and evaluates its implications for future cases. Case notes are published in law reviews and form a distinct academic genre. We write both.

Yes. We assist with structured bar exam essay practice, including issue-spotting exercises across MBE subjects (Contracts, Torts, Constitutional Law, Evidence, Civil Procedure, Real Property, Criminal Law), MEE essay structures, and MPT performance test writing. For UK students, we also support SQE2 written skills preparation. Practice answers are structured to match the format and depth expected by bar examiners.
