What we have been drafting in this course is somewhat different. In the past, we have simply used the "Memorandum" form for much of the writing. We know see that a Legal Memorandum (or "Office" Memorandum, as it is called in the text) is a specific piece of formal legal writing.

We are going to use this Discussion to explore the topic a bit and break down the various sections and formats for a Legal (Office) Memorandum.

1. Describe in detail the process for presenting a case in the analysis section of an office memo.
2. Describe in detail the format of the analysis section of an office memo.
3. Describe what should and should not be included in the conclusion section of an office memo.
