Answering Strategy for Bihar Judiciary Mains Exam

Before you understand how to write answers for different questions in the Bihar Judiciary exam, know the tips for answering any question. Follow these tips and tricks to answer any question in the Bihar Judicial Services examination. 

  • It would help if you had clarity of all law subjects mentioned in the syllabus.
  • Reading the question before attempting is a must to understand what precisely the examiner needs clearly.
  • Practising answer writing in a time-bound manner can help your writing speed.
  • Suppose the word limit to a question is not provided. In that case, the critical question of how much is written in a given question depends primarily on the marks allotted to the same and the scope/need for extension in the answer.
  • The answer length or the number of pages is not a decisive factor for marking. So, keeping your answers brief and to the point helps you complete the exam on time.
  • Make sure to write neatly in legible handwriting so that your answer is readable for the examiner.
  • Making short paragraphs or pointers is a suggested way to hold the examiner's interest.
  • Contrary to popular opinion, not every answer requires mentioning case laws. So, write case laws only if relevant and deal directly with the question asked.
  • You should only write the landmark judgments or recent essential case laws, which can help convey your clarity of the concept.

General Format of Answering Strategy for Bihar Judiciary Mains Exam

This format can be followed while answering any question in the Bihar Judiciary Mains Examination. The general form of writing an answer includes an Introduction, the Main body or central idea, and a conclusion.

Main Body or Central Idea

  • This gives the examiner an idea of whether you are thorough with the concept.
  • Remember that you must begin with the provision when you start the main body of the Mains answer. This gives an impact that the aspirant has understood the general concept.
  • Next comes the applicability and enforcement. Explain how this provision is applicable in the judiciary system.
  • Mention any amendments that happened or were announced.
  • Further is the illustration. Build connectivity between the provision and description. It is not necessary that the image must be from the bare act; however, it can be from any commentary or in the form of any case law.
  • The last part of the main body will be case laws. You can include one or two recent judgements of the particular state.

How to Write Short Notes Answer in Bihar Judiciary Mains?

As the question type says, these are short notes or essay-type answers. You might be given a word limit for this answer, or there might not be a limit. 

  • There is no prescribed structure for short notes-based questions. Also, there is no scope for an introduction, main body or conclusion.
  • But it is recommended to have a proper introduction in pointers. 
  • Be crisp and precise while writing short notes or specific format. Instead of explaining a detailed introduction, you can directly get to the point by explaining provisions. 
  • You can avoid case laws as they can increase the length and words in the answer. In case it is necessary, then you can explain short terms.
  • Also, make sure you check the marking scheme and write accordingly.

How to Write Factual Matrix Answer in Bihar Judiciary Mains?

The main aim of the factual matrix question is to test if you can decode what law and legal provision will apply to the given facts.

Introduction

The introduction should lay down the law/legal principles relevant to the factual scenario. This needs to be brief and on point.

Main Body

  • The main body shall include the appreciation of facts and elaboration on the law and legal provisions relevant to the facts.
  • Ensure to explain the ingredients of law and establish a connecting link between the facts and law.
  • You should also mention illustrations or case laws based on similar facts and convey a better idea of the applicable law.
  • At this stage, justifying your answer with logical and legal reasoning adds quality.

Conclusion

  • The conclusion will summarise the whole answer and write a direct response concerning the factual matrix, which is a good technique.

For example: If the question is whether the theft offence is made out in the given facts? After discussing the law of theft, its provision and ingredients, and justifying your answer that theft here is/is not made out, the conclusion should lay down a summarised and direct response that the robbery is/is not made out in these facts along with its reasons.
