Model answer plan for one question
Question type: What is a legal opinion? Write its main parts.
- Define a legal opinion as a written view on a legal question given to an office or person.
- List its parts: facts, legal question, relevant law and precedent, analysis and a clear conclusion.
- Mention who gives legal opinions in government (government attorneys, the Ministry of Law) and why they matter.
- Conclude with the qualities of a good opinion: brief, reasoned and based on law.
Use the same plan for other long questions: define, explain with Nepal’s law or example, analyse problems, suggest solutions, and conclude in two lines. More tips in our written exam answer guide.
