To show you how it's done, Hammond provides a worked example applying the two-stage method to creating a legal argument in a moot court.

“Hammond lays out a clear, logical and rational approach he calls 'the two stage process', which will certainly be worth its weight in gold for any law student faced with the prospect of competing in their first moot... I would urge all first-year law students to add this book to their reading lists as soon as possible, it will certainly make that dreaded first moot significantly easier.”
