After assessing the client’s stance, J&B shared relevant court cases related to the CLR prompt to help the client diversify their ideas. Next, the team produced a highly detailed, 9-page outline complete with scholarly references to help the client write their introduction, body, and conclusion sections. The client followed J&B’s outline to prepare their first draft, which the team then heavily edited and revised so that it suited their high-quality standards, providing the client with a competitive submission to CLR.
