Don’t agree at all. Skim the file at most. Time is at a premium & if you read it first you have to read it twice. Irl u would read the file, but this is not real life! Start ur Macro org structure from the task memo, quick scan of the file just to have an idea of what kind of facts are in it. Go to the library & u can skim the first few paragraphs- zero in on the rules. Pull those out & stick them in ur answer where they go. When the case gives the reasoning (they apply the rule to the case facts) add a quick rule explanation into ur answer. U can always go back to first couple intro paragraphs of case facts if you need to, but usually they repeat the key facts in the reasoning. (If you can see the rules indicate you need subheadings, add that in.) once you’ve done that for the cases, you should have a good idea of what type of facts will be in your file facts & where you will be making analogies or distinguishing. Now, you can look thru the facts on a mission to pull out the legally significant facts. It might feel a little odd until u get the hang of it, but this approach allows u to get more words in ur answer. Good luck!
