Analysis part of a Legal Memorandum
Here is where you analyze and give your opinion about the law and the decision.
What did the court decide and what was their reasoning?
What was applied correctly by the court and what was applied incorrectly?
For example, were the principles of the Supreme Court Cases applied in this case and if so does the way they were applied make sense?
Were there any arguments that made more sense that were not held by the court?
In essence, here is where you make your arguments for the appeal: Why should a higher court intervene and disagree with what was decided?
This is the essence of your paper.
This section will likely be 4-8 pages, but will depend on the case.
