Internship #13

The process of writing a legal memorandum:




Step 1: Research. This step may very well be the most important step in writing a legal memorandum. You might often go back to this step within various stages. This is also the step that takes the longest. As you can see here, there are many tabs of different results open. There are often so many different directions you can go with your research.






Step 2: Writing. This can be the most difficult part. You may come across a lot of important information in research, so compiling all of that, and filtering out the most important stuff can be difficult and tedious.





Step 3: Handing in the memorandum. This was a little nerveracking for me. I had spent so long working really hard, and I was feeling pressure to impress the lawyers.




Step 4: Recieving critique. I'm sure this final step isn't the same with everyone else. But because I am an intern, and it was my first memorandum, I needed tips to help me do better on my next one.
