Memorandum structure
Generally speaking the main sections of a memo are:
1. Your name, date, client involved and subject matter. 

2. Additional information on client, why the questions were asked and how the

answers will be applied. 

3. Detailed description of the relevant facts. 

4. Outline the issues (and sub-issues) you have been asked to analyze. Frame them
in 
terms of questions that you will ultimately answer. This is an on-going
process. 

5. Summarize the analysis and answer the questions set out in the Issues section. 

6. The facts are applied to the law to answer the questions posed. You should
follow 
the sequence set out in the Issues section. 

7. Every statement must be supported by the case law and legislation you

referenced or relied upon. 

8. Include a list of all secondary sources consulted.
