Legal Writing

These notes focus on the structure and clarity required for effective legal writing in the SQE2 assessment. They provide a simple and reliable framework for approaching written tasks, ensuring answers are well organised, concise and tailored to the intended audience.

The guide highlights key points to consider for common writing tasks, including structure and the most likely topics to appear on the exams. By following the suggested format, you can ensure your writing remains clear, professional and focused on the client’s needs, while addressing the legal issues raised in the scenario. 

Please note that this guide can be used for Case and Matter Analysis as the topics remain similar for both sets of exams - the CMA skillset simply requires a further in-depth analysis.
