# IRAC legal analysis

Structure legal reasoning by separating the issue, rule, application to facts and conclusion.

 Method · Law and employment


## Core concepts
  Issue: the legal question raised by the facts
 Rule and application: connect applicable authority and facts
 Conclusion: a judgment subject to assumptions and uncertainty
 

## Application
 Use IRAC in consultation notes or draft reviews to identify unsupported claims and compare competing interpretations.


## Limitations and jurisdiction
 This is a writing structure from US legal education. It does not establish the existence or validity of a rule or determine the outcome of a Korean case.


## Editorial perspectives
  Rules first: organize legal grounds and requirements.
 Facts first: identify facts to prove and missing evidence.
