IRAC (pronounced EYE-rack) is an acronym that generally stands for: Issue, Rule, Application, and Conclusion. It functions as a methodology for legal analysis. The IRAC format is mostly used in hypothetical questions in law school and bar exams.
Sections of an IRAC
Issue
The IRAC commences with a statement of the issues or legal questions at hand. In the issue section of an IRAC it is important to state exactly what the question of law is. Each issue is often treated separately. The "Whether...when" or "Under (law) ... does" formats may be of service in framing the issue.
Rule
The Rule section of an IRAC follows the statement of the issue at hand. The rule section of an IRAC is the statement of the rules pertinent in deciding the issue stated. Rules in a common law jurisdiction derive from court case precedent and statute. The information included in the rules section depends heavily on the specificity of the question at hand. If the question states a specific jurisdiction then it is proper to include rules specific to that jurisdiction. Another distinction often made in the rule section is a clear delineation of rules that are in holding, and binding based on the authority of the hierarchy of the court, being ratio decidendi, and being the majority ruling, or simply persuasive. There are occasions when rules are adopted on the basis they are the only clearly articulated rules on the issue, in spite of being minority decisions, obiter dicta, and from lower courts, in other jurisdictions, which have never been contradicted.
Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission, an independent tribunal that hears appeals on issues relating to land use, property and revenue (sales) tax and unsightly premises.
