An examinee assigned a demand letter has 35 minutes left. The examinee has read the entire packet and has handwritten notes about the facts and cases, but has not typed any answer. The task memo asks for a letter to opposing counsel demanding payment and explaining why the client's claim is strong. The File includes a contract, invoices, emails admitting late delivery, and a settlement call note. The Library contains a statute, one favorable case, and one case that limits damages where the claimant failed to mitigate.
The examinee wants to spend 10 more minutes refining the outline and copying exact case quotations before drafting.
What should the examinee do instead? Discuss how to convert notes into a usable answer, what sections or headings to preserve, which facts and authorities to prioritize, what to cut, and how to use the final few minutes.
