(8) Writing style: Simplicity and clarity are important. Craft short sentences and be sure that paragraphs are compact and logically developed. Avoid the use of slang. Use your best legal English.

(9) Hierarchy and Sequencing of Presentation: Be sure to organize your paper according to major topics arranged in a sequential order which best addresses the issues and answers you intend to discuss. Then, within each major topic address relevant subtopics in appropriate hierarchical order. You will note that chronology of factual events for background discussion, or relevant rules of law and their elements for legal discussion, generally provide the best organizing framework. For example, in the U.S. domestic law of Negligence, one discusses in sequence, Duty, Breach, Causation and Damage in that order. Another example regarding Remedies, invites one to discuss compensatory [w/ pecuniary and non-pecuniary] damages vs. punitive damages. Look at the law carefully as it will provide you with the structure for your paper.
