answer. Mention the facts where relevant to your analysis. If you
are asked for a recommendation, be sure to include one, but do not fail to
consider counterarguments. If your
answer depends upon essential information not set forth in the question, state
what that information is and how it affects your answer. If facts are missing in your argument, please
state what facts would be pertinent to each partyâs case; also list any facts
or information that could potentially damage a partyâs case.
Read the questions carefully and attempt
to answer each directly. Clear,
well-organized, and concise writing will be rewarded. If there are ambiguities in the questions,
