Agreement: An agreement creating obligations enforceable by law. The basic elements of a contract are mutual assent, consideration, capacity, and legality.

Make a list of Section numbers that you will read every day till your tests. Though writing parts are not required, they will undoubtedly offer you an advantage. But remember, if you're unsure, don't quote the section number. No section number is preferable to the incorrect section number.

Aside from learning and understanding the fundamental concepts and provisions, the presentation and style of writing answers in the test is one of the most important criteria for doing well on the Law examination.

Remember while solving Theoretical Questions that these are straight questions that are based on the principles. These questions do not necessitate any additional preparation, but they do necessitate a specific writing strategy. Write the answer in point format. Underline the heading and leave a line after every point. Wherever examples are needed, include them.

However, when you come across Practical Case-Study questions divide your response into three paragraphs.

  • Paragraph 1: State the section number, the name of any case law, and the theory to which the query or case refers.
  • Paragraph 2- Discuss the facts of the case and arrive at a solution in the second paragraph.
  • Paragraph 3: This paragraph should include the final conclusion or recommendation. A conclusion can be written in as few as two or three phrases. You don't need to repeat the provisions because the conclusion isn't the place to make fresh arguments.
