Any help with MEE issue spotting
It seems my IRACs are more macro than micro and I'm trying to score higher on the MEE. I know the BLL but it seems I just get straight to the issue and get off it. Ex: whether offer was revocable, I just mentioned UCC firm offer rule, no consideration necessary, can't revoke and done. Meanwhile, I had to IRAC the first words of communication, second words of communication, but led to the same conclusion. Any words of advice for MEE issue spotting? thank you

Re: Any help with MEE issue spotting
There's a unique approach to every subject. It's not just straight up IRAC and you're done with it. For contracts, you do need to analyze each communication. In transcript-style Evidence questions, you do need to bring up whether you can file a motion to strike for each numbered line.
BTW, shouldn't it be "CRAC" for MEE? In other words, your headings are a short summary of your arguments like a legal brief?

I agree with you on the CRAC point, albeit every returned graded essay I get seems to suggest I should stick to IRAC

Just curious, who are you getting them graded by?PanickingBarTaker wrote:a male human wrote:There's a unique approach to every subject. It's not just straight up IRAC and you're done with it.

And they want you to do IRAC with a simple issue heading, like below?
EASEMENTS
Easement rule...
Intent
Intent rule...
Notice
Notice rule...
Horizontal privity
And so on...

I'm taking a commercial bar prep course and they are providing us "professional graders" .. whatever that means ..
They do not require us to issue-head our responses and frankly, it seems rather weird (like a 3rd grader's essay if you ask me )

Re: Any help with MEE issue spotting
That is weird! Especially when model MEE answers all have headings with a summary of the argument.
Any other MEE takers know if either IRAC or CRAC will work?

Re: Any help with MEE issue spotting
I think "IRAC" is better than "CRAC" unless you are sure your conclusion is correct. (Otherwise a grader sees an incorrect conclusion and sometimes doesn't read your rule/analysis as closely).
If you are sure your conclusion is correct then CRAC is a fine way to go!
