Module 3: Predictive Writing — The Office Memo

The office memo is the workhorse of predictive legal writing — an honest, objective forecast of how a court would likely rule, built to inform real advice to a real client. This module covers its standard structure, the IRAC/CRAC framework, and the specific skill of synthesizing a rule from multiple authorities instead of just summarizing cases one by one.
