Thanks for your thoughts. I knew it was weak. It scored B+ last year. I 
was in a way not trying to discover the answer but argue my answer. 
This is a problem with law and courts they don't look for the absolute 
truth rather the best argued truth. I find writing one of my weaker 
skills but I am working on it.
