HOW TO ANSWER A PROBLEMATIC QUESTION
4 STEPS :-
1. ISSUE/S
Normally, you must begin your answer by identifying the legal issue. Read the question carefully and identify the main problem of the case. You may then address your answer by asking for example “Whether silence constitutes an acceptance or not?”
2. LAWS
Then you have to think the most relevant areas of law, which are applicable to your question. For example if your legal issues deal with mode of acceptance, please discuss the topic relevant to your question and not something else. If you were to discuss about condition of a valid acceptance which is clearly out of topic, you will be wasting your precious limited time and your mark, off course. Sections and cases are prime important. It is not recommended to memorize every single sentence in sections, it would be better if you could understand the section and come out with your own beautiful words.
3. APPLICATION
In this part, what you have to do is try to extract or bring out what you have discussed earlier (in Laws) to your case at hand. No need to discuss the laws again but apply the laws to your question accordingly. For example, in the earlier part, you have discussed about the mode of acceptance, now try to relate the law on the mode of acceptance with the fact of the case in the question by checking whether there is an acceptance or not?
4. CONCLUSION
Now, it is a time to conclude your answer. You may sum up what you have discussed earlier by giving simple conclusion like “As a conclusion, in order to form a valid contract, the offeree must communicate his acceptance to the offeror. Silence by the offeree is not a valid acceptance and therefore there will be no valid contract in such situation”. Lengthy conclusion is not recommended as it will waste your time as you need to answer next question.
