You are to write a ‘memorandum’ to the supervising partner of a fictitious law firm you
work for and a letter of advice to the client whom you act for’. Based on the content of your memo (but a simplified version of it), you are also to write a letter to your client. Your memo is to be
pitched for a supervising partner. Thus, you should use legal terminology, case law and
principles in your memo to the partner. In contrast, the letter to your client should be
written in plain language and you should avoid any legal jargon in it. You must assume
your client has no knowledge of the law. Your letter should conclude with a suggested
course of action, rather than leaving the client not knowing what they should do next.
Subheadings are encouraged and should NOT be included in the word count. You are
encouraged to use meaningful subheadings that are more than single words, but rather,
postulate a question or make a statement, thus setting the context of what will follow.
Pitching your language to your audience is part of the assessment criteria in the rubric.
I have attached two exemplar examples of this task and a guide to legal problem solving as well as the overall assessment instructions and the actual scenario itself that must be written about. That same sheet has the assessment criteria. Make sure you check your work to the ‘A’ standard of the criteria.
Max word limit is 2500 give and take 10% up or down. An indicative guide is approximately 1800-
2100 words for the memo and about 250-350 words for the letter.
Footnotes must be used and are not included In the word count. Use as many sources as you deem necessary. This case law is Australian so use Australian cases as needed. A bibliography or reference list at the end of the piece is also required, with the proper AGLC citations.
You will reference using AGLC (Australian guide to legal citation), I have attached the booklet on how to do this style.
Please edit and check the rubric before sending back for revision and I will let you know what needs changing if anything. Let me know if you need anything. Thank you and Good Luck !
