The purpose of the example sentence is to illustrate the logic of the writer and also to show why the writer thinks what he or she does. For example, if I am writing about purchasing a home, one of my main examples sentences might be something like, “The monthly payments on our first house made our credit score look bad. We decided to forgo a second house and purchase our current house.” My point is that, because we bought our current house, our credit did not look bad. In other words, this example sentence helps demonstrate that by purchasing a new house, our credit did not suffer as we had to have bought the first house in order to make our credit look bad.
However, in order to prepare for the state bar exam, I would like to use a more “real world” legal issue. I would like to take my review to the real world and figure out how we might handle the same situation. This way, I will use an actual example sentence from my own experience. For example, I might say, “Although we had budgeted for two years in advance, we were not able to purchase the house in the fall of 2021 due to a lack of funds.” This example sentence clearly demonstrates how we can develop a personal legal issue and how it can affect us in a future legal case.
The only problem with this example sentence is that it is a one-time event. If we do not have another similar financial experience in the future, our example sentence is not particularly relevant. However, if we do have such a financial experience, it can make our life much more complicated in terms of planning for future legal issues.
When we are working through a legal issue in the future, we should think about how that experience may affect our ability to act or what we may do in that future legal case. For example, if we accidentally injure someone in a car accident, our first thought may be to get a lawyer. However, that does not necessarily mean we should get one right away. Instead, we should take some time and assess our situation. We should then decide if we really need a lawyer.
Some people have the misconception that they must have a lawyer to represent them in a car accident. Although many people may not have lawyers, this does not mean they should not be able to seek representation. Sometimes, simple discussions can be enough to help us determine if we should proceed with legal action or not. Our example sentence above may be referring to this particular situation.
If we are not sure whether we should hire a lawyer, we should ask some questions. First, we should ask ourselves if we would feel comfortable having a legal professional representing our case, even if it means paying a slightly higher fee. In addition, if we do decide to hire a legal professional, we should also ask the attorney about fees. We should do this even if the answer is negative. This is so we can be sure we have received an accurate answer.
There are several different types of legal example sentences. The one above is an example of a legal issue that is relatively common. However, these situations are not unique to this example. The sentence also applies if we had a car accident, if we become bankrupt, if we are on trial, or if we become mentally incapacitated. The point is that it is possible to use this sentence to explain any kind of legal problem or dilemma. It is important to remember, though, that this is a “binding” sentence, so if we change our mind after we receive the explanation, it will still apply.
