The Passage is Your Friend
The CLAT consortium explicitly states that any legal principle you need will be provided in the passage. Your job is to apply that principle and only that principle to the facts.
Avoid 'Prior Knowledge' Bias
Even if you know a law from a newspaper, if the passage defines it differently for the sake of the question, use the passage's definition. This is where most students lose marks.
Steps to Solve
- Read the passage once to understand the 'spirit' of the principle.
- Identify the 'conditions' required for the law to apply.
- Match the facts of the question against those conditions.
