So, for answering the essay questions,
you should include the law in your answer.

After all, this is a Business Law course.

And to get full credit on the essay
responses, you need to name the law.

For example, if a case involves an issue
with due process under the Fifth

Amendment, some students might be inclined
to say,

in response,

"Okay, John Doe, his rights have been
violated because he didn't know about

the hearing."

And although that's perhaps the right
conclusion, depending on the facts, there

are some important steps that were
skipped.

So, when you answer an essay question,
start with the law, name the law.

"This case involves the Due Process
Clause of the Fifth Amendment."

Then, tell me what that is.

The Due Process Clause, or the relevant
part, here, requires notice and a hearing.

And then, tie it to the facts.

"John Doe didn't get notice of the
hearing and therefore his rights were

violated."

Or, perhaps, "No hearing was done and
therefore his rights were violated."

And that is the key to getting full credit
on the essay questions.

You need to set yourself apart from
the students who don't know what the

law is and they're just taking a guess,
right?

They're avoiding the law, just coming up
wth the conclusion because they don't have

that information. They don't know what
the law is.

So, if you know what the law is, you need
to set yourself apart by telling me what

the law is in your response.
