Document Summary

The ipac or irac method is a way of formatting answers to case questions that ensure coherency and thoroughness. Follow this simple four step process to organize your answer in a way that demonstrates your knowledge of course concepts as well as your understanding of the csae. This methodology can be compared to the way we answer a mathematical word problem. First, identify the formula that you will need, write out the formula, plug in the numbers and solve for the unknown. Once you have found your answer you would typically include a final statement answering the question in the parameters outlined in the word problem. Be precise, make sure to use names of the parties involved in the scenario and don"t use concepts that are too general. Typically, you will find the legal issue based on certain keywords in the fact pattern. These words are the ones that remind you about a certain concept from the course.
