Thank you! This was so helpful! I've taken a commercial course in the past, and they never mentioned the graders or their approach. Now I can focus on what's important instead of using precious time overthinking.
Great question. One tip is to try to connect every element with a fact. For example, battery is "an act with intent to cause a harmful or offensive contact . . . (etc.)". You could tie elements to facts by saying "defendant acted when he balled his hands into a fist and moved toward the plaintiff. Intent was present because the facts say that the defendant was angry and wanted to punch the plaintiff. . ." It is helpful to learn the elements of law really well (and understand them). That makes it easier to tie the law to the facts. Please let us know if that helps!

Hi! can you provide any tips for marrying law and fact in an analysis? I struggle with that.
