- Background: What is the existing point you want to challenge or support, and how did the law get to be that way (This is where you would need to find cases, background information, etc.)?
- Inadequacies: What are the deficiencies in the present way of doing things, or what are the weaknesses in the argument you are attacking?
- Adequacies: Discuss the positive aspects of the law.
- Proposed Changes: How will we have a better situation, mode of understanding or clarity with what you are advocating? In short, how can the law be improved (or not diminished)? This is where you have the chance to change the law with your own ideas of how it should be written.
- Conclusion: Why should and how can your proposal be adopted?
