JURISTS PAGE SET-UP PROTOCOL

WRITING QUESTION AND SUBQUESTION NUMBERS & LETTERS

1. Follow instructions on whether you will write or not on the first page. Usually thereis a directive in the first page that you should not write there.

2. Write your answers only on the front (not the back) page of every sheet in yourbooklet.

3. If the front pages provided in your Examination Notebook are not sufficient for youranswers, use the back page of every sheet of your Examination Notebook, starting atthe back page of the first sheet you wrote on and then the succeeding back pages asmay be necessary.

4. In numbering your answers, use or adopt the numbering/letter system in thequestionnaire. Traditionally Roman Numerals have been used in the bar examinationfor the main questions and letters enclosed in parentheses, e.g., (A) or (a), have beenused for subquestions. For subquestions, use the case (upper or lower) used by theexaminer. BE CAREFUL IN NUMBERING YOUR ANSWERS.

5. Use bars above and below the Roman Numerals, thus:

III

rather than

III

6. Start each number on a separate page. Write the Roman numeral at the center justabove the first line. (See sample page set-up).

7. If the number contains subquestions, write the first number on the space just abovethe first line and then after one space write (A) or (a), as the case may be and then afteranother space, the text of the answer proper. (See sample page set-up).

8. It is recommended that you write the answer to a succeeding subquestion not on thesame page but on the immediately succeeding page and so forth. Write thesubquestion letter at the first line.

MARGINS & PAGE SETUP

Upper margin



9 Do not write on the upper two lines except insofar as to write the question numberand subquestion letter.

SPACING

10. Use single-spacing, but there should be space:

a) Between Question Number and a subquestion letter.b) Between a subquestion letter and the text of the answer.c) Between paragraphs.

Put 2 spaces between a Question Number and the text of the answer proper.

Lower margin

11. Do not write on the lower two lines.

Side margins

12. About 1-inch margin on the sides (approximately the width of two fingers placedvertically on the margins). There is no need to be exact about this measurement, theexaminee can simply approximate or eyeball the 1-inch margin. The important thing isthat there is a margin on the sides to prevent a cramped look to the page and make thesame more pleasing to the reader. The use of margins may be termed the “picture-frame” style or method.
