Memo format and structure
We went over the Memorandum Format instructions in class yesterday, and began discussing small- and large-scale organization. If you haven't already done so, you may find it helpful to look over the two sample memos that I've posted, along with the Brief Guide to IRAC.
As I mentioned in class, tomorrow we'll be looking at Exercise 7-B (pages 187-188 of the Shapo textbook), regarding the Questions Presented section.
We'll also discuss Legal Rules: Elements, Alternatives, and Factors and the material on plagiarism in the Course Rules and Ethics Guidelines.
FYI -- here is a link to the web page of John Marshall's Writing Resource Center.
