IRAC stands for Issue, Rule, Application\/Analysis, Conclusion. There are slightly different versions of IRAC which may be used for different legal documents. This lesson will focus on IRAC for essay exam writing. Some faculty may prefer CRAC, or CIRAC, where the conclusion is placed first. You may also learn CRREAC for writing legal memos and briefs, which stands for Conclusion, Rule, Rule Explanation, Application, Conclusion.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003C!--break--\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMake sure you know your professor\u2019s structural preferences regarding exams and other assignments.

It takes some getting used to, but once you understand how to properly work with the IRAC structure, you will be able to analyze any legal question.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003ELearning Outcomes\u003C\/h3\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOn completion of the lesson, the student will be able to:\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Col\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EIdentify the components of IRAC.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EClassify what belongs in each section of IRAC.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EIdentify strong and weak examples of issue statements, rules, applications, and conclusions.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ECompose basic legal analysis in written IRAC form.\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003C\/ol\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022field-lesson-completion-time\u0022\u003E\n      \u003Ch4\u003ELesson Completion Time\u003C\/h4\u003E\n  \n      \u003Cdiv class=\u0022field-content\u0022\u003E\n      45 minutes    \u003C\/div\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022field-lesson-authors-view\u0022\u003E\n      \u003Ch3\u003ELesson Authors\u003C\/h3\u003E\n  \n      \u003Cdiv class=\u0022field-content\u0022\u003E\n      \u003Cdiv class=\u0022view view-lesson-authors view-id-lesson_authors view-display-id-block view-dom-id-5250a81a4efa5b1d5503f4afa9e4664b\u0022\u003E\n        \n  \n  \n      \u003Cdiv class=\u0022view-content\u0022\u003E\n      \n      \n          \u003Ca href=\u0022\/user\/791888\u0022\u003E\n  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022profile-photo round\u0022\u003E\n    \u003Cimg typeof=\u0022foaf:Image\u0022 src=\u0022https:\/\/www.cali.org\/sites\/default\/files\/user-profile-photos\/Allie%20Robbins%202023%20Photo.jpg\u0022 width=\u0022265\u0022 height=\u0022265\u0022 alt=\u0022\u0022 \/\u003E  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/a\u003E    \n  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022views-field views-field-nothing-1\u0022\u003E        \u003Cspan class=\u0022field-content\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022user-profile-block-text-fields\u0022\u003E\r\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022user-name-full\u0022\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022\/user\/791888\u0022\u003EAllie Robbins\u003C\/a\u003E\r\n\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n  \n  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022field-full-title\u0022\u003E\n    Managing Director of Institutional Partnerships at Helix Bar Review  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\r\n   \r\n  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022profile-block-field city-state\u0022\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\r\n\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E  \u003C\/div\u003E\n    \u003C\/div\u003E\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\u003C\/div\u003E    \u003C\/div\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n  \u003C\/div\u003E\n  \n  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022lesson-button\u0022\u003E\n      \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n\u003C\/article\u003E\n"}]
