Paralegal Cup 2015 marked rubrics, commentary, and memos released to schools
Please find attached the marked legal memos, marked rubrics and judge's written feedback for Day One of the 2015 PCM Competition. Please forward the marked memos, rubrics and feedback to the appropriate team members.
Please note, for the 2015 competition the score for the written component was calculated into the overall score for the first four rounds. As a result, some teams with strong oral marks did not advance while some teams with strong written marks did.
Please further note that there were three memo judges. The team's written score consists of the average of the three judge's scores. For the oral component in situations there were less than three judges, the average of the two was substituted for the third mark.
Please let us know if you have any questions. We are looking forward to seeing you at the 2016 competition at Osgoode Hall.
