LLB Problem Questions: How to Use the IRAC Method to Structure High-Scoring Law Exam Answers
Struggling to organise your LLB problem question answers? Watch this helpful guide on the IRAC method for LLB problem questions and learn how to structure legal analysis clearly in law exams.
This video explains how law students can use Issue, Rule, Application and Conclusion to build focused, examiner-friendly answers. Rather than treating IRAC as one structure for an entire essay, the guidance shows why each legal issue needs its own IRAC paragraph. That means identifying the precise legal question, selecting the correct cases or statutory rules, applying every relevant fact, and ending with a clear mini-conclusion.
Key takeaways: Understand how to spot legal issues in criminal law, contract law and other LLB modules. Learn why case law should be used for legal principles, not long factual summaries. See how application is where top marks are often earned, because every fact in a problem question is included for a reason. The video also explains how to conclude each issue before moving to the next.
For UK law students preparing for exams, this is a practical blueprint for clearer, more persuasive problem question answers.
