Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! This is the second episode of a four-part series called "Legal Writing Makeover". In this complete series, we take a piece of legal writing that could use improvement and transform it into legal writing A+, one section of IRAC at a time. Last time we discussed the issue statement, and today we continue with the rule statement.

In this episode we discuss:

A rule statement from a sample exam answer
How to write a good rule statement that earns you the maximum points on an exam
