Excerpt:

Pointers:

Do not write long sentences. They show confusion.

Use Because frequently. It helps focus you immediately.

Use core accepted definitions - not flowery theoretical ones.

Above all, argue each individual element of the definition - that's how real lawyers operate in court and that's what your lawyer-grader will expect.

All of us do this with one issue - but not with another.

But let's take negligence as our model all the time.
We always write on Duty Breach Causation and Harm one by one - we never summarize and say:

A v B
Negligence

Negligence is the breach of the duty of reasonable care owed to another. P must prove Duty Breach Causation and Harm.

Here, D was negligent because he took his eyes of the road and crashed into P's bicycle, causing injury.

Therefore D is liable for negligence.
