• Good Start – Law course essays are successfully written when started well. Aside from starting with good planning, you need to know that you must start your planning by carefully understanding the topic, questions or instructions given to you. If there are none given, you can start by looking for and choosing a very good topic.
• Understanding The Topic, Question or Instruction – Make sure to determine whether the instructions mean you can or must write an argumentative essay. If you are not asked to write your arguments, you can still write an argumentative essay, depending on the situation. If you are asked otherwise or, in other words, the question, instruction or topic requires something other than an argumentative essay, then you should not write an argumentative essay or something which is tantamount to one.
• Selecting a Topic – If a topic is not given or the questions or instructions allow you to choose a topic, your law essay writing starts with looking for and choosing a topic. You can use several different criteria on searching for and selecting a topic. Depending on your situation, you can base your search and selection on personal curiosity on topics, strength of knowledge or weakness on topics. The easiest criteria to use is the strength of your knowledge on the topic because you are almost sure you can write best about it. Personal interest or curiosity on topics can also be a good criterion because you will be able to feed your hunger for knowledge on the topics you want to learn about by writing your law essay about it.
