That should be your default structure. As for actual headings, it depends on the memo.
For Predictive I used:
Question Presented;
Brief Answer;
Facts;
Discussion (This is the meat of the memo, that utilizes the above structures);
Conclusion
For Persuasive:
Introduction;
Statement of Facts;
Legal Standard;
Argument (HUGE, think headings and subheadings each with its own CRREAC or IRAC);
Conclusion
I would also strongly recommend Point Made. My school really stresses legal writing and clinical work so all of our legal writing professors are tenured.
I'll add Point Made to this list.
Typography for lawyers is great but as a young associate I found quite a bit of resistance to employing anything in it. A lot of the partners were very wed to the way they've always done it, and thought some of the things I gave them looked "weird."
Point made by Guberman and Making Your Case helped a lot for me, personally.
The trick at my school is to find out what the professor's expectations are and produce product that's as close as possible to it. I think some of my classmates try too hard to be lawyers, law review editors, or judges. Good luck!
Do you mean Point Made?
And if you're a glutton for punishment, The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
