Reading the problem question
Your first step should be to read through the moot problem.
This video takes you through a typical analysis of a problem question.
- Brainstorm the legal issues and obvious policy arguments.
- Avoid confining yourself to just your client’s case - the idea is to identify issues raised generally.
- Research any basic legal areas you might be unsure about.
- After generally thinking about the problem, the next step is strategy. The problem has likely already identified the issues on appeal.
