Whereas other essay might require you to have an attention-grabbing or descriptive introduction to your essay, a law essay's introduction should be short and simple, making up 10 percent of your total word count. In your introduction, you want to make it clear that you understand the question or issue at hand and have a concise interpretation. Then according to the Law Essays site, you should outline, "...the areas of law and main statutes/cases that the question is concerned with." In some questions, the area of law that they want you to address is obvious. In other questions, you'll have to mull it over yourself but ultimately address it in your introduction.
The body paragraphs are where you defend your arguments or interpretations by showcasing the research that you have conducted in a profound investigation. You want to refer to prior cases, rulings, case laws and legislations in a straightforward, simple manner. Don't be concerned with using impressive words or jargon. The simpler your language, the more you will show that you've understood the things that you've read on a more concrete, usable level. Each piece of evidence that you cite must work in favor of supporting your interpretation.
As with regular essays, the conclusion of a law essay will require you to summarize the main points that you have made and the supporting evidence that you have given in a new way. The reader of your essay should not get to your final paragraph and feel like you are repeating yourself. You will want to reiterate your interpretation of the question in a memorable way with new language. Sometimes, depending on the question, you will use the conclusion to give a definitive answer to the essay question after expressing your analysis and supporting arguments in the body paragraphs. For example, according to the Law Essays site, you might say something to the effect of "...Jessie has a binding contract with Eve and will be bound by its terms, as agreed between the parties on the 18th of June."
