An examinee has 90 minutes for an MPT that asks for a persuasive brief opposing summary judgment. The File has a task memo, complaint, deposition excerpts, and six emails. The Library has a rule of civil procedure and three cases, one of which has facts closely matching the client's strongest argument. After 40 minutes, the examinee has highlighted most documents but has no outline and has not started writing.
The examinee says the safest approach is to keep reading until every fact and case is fully understood, then write as much as possible in the final 20 minutes.
What should the examinee do instead? Discuss a sound sequence for using the task memo, File, and Library; how to build an issue-focused outline; and how to prioritize a complete work product.
