    A Legal Memorandum is a form of pleading submitted by

    the court. The purpose of said legal memorandum is to aid the
    parties in remembering legal points and for the court to look into by
    way of reference. Lawyers usually makes its legal memorandum to
    explain and summarize specific points necessary for the conviction
    or acquittal of the accused.

    A legal memorandum contains factual issues raised during the


    trial of the case. Legal memorandum are made in the interest of the
    speedy disposition of cases and to enable the courts to better
    control the progress of cases. As a general rule, the submission of
    memoranda is not  mandatory or required as a matter of course but
    shall be left to the sound discretion of the Court. A memorandum
    may not be filed unless required or allowed by the Court.

    The Court may require or allow the parties to submit their


    respective memoranda including citation of authorities within a
    definite date from submission of the case for decision but not
    exceeding thirty (30) days therefrom. This shall cover the filing of
    simultaneous memoranda or a memorandum in chief and a reply
    memorandum of the adverse party, in the discretion of the Court
    but in no case may its filing exceed thirty (30) days from
    submission of the case for decision.

    3. Legal Opinion

    A legal opinion is a written statement by a judicial officer, legal


    expert or a court as to the illegibility or legibility of a condition,
    intendant or action. Opinions are usually published at the direction
    of the court, and to the extent, they contain pronouncements about
    what the law is and how it should be interpreted, they reinforce,
    change, establish, or overturn legal precedent. If a court decides
    that an opinion should be published, the opinion may be included
    in a volume from a series of books called law reports . Published
    opinions of courts are also collectively referred to as case law, and
    constitute in the common law legal systems one of the
    major sources of law.

    A legal opinion (or opinion letter) is a verbal or written


    objective interpretation or analysis of a legal position by a
    professional legal practitioner which is intended to be relied on by
    the person to whom it is addressed. In other words, a legal opinion
    is the opinion of a particular legal practitioner about the application
    of the law to a particular set of facts and usually contains
    conclusions or recommendations.

    Its purpose is to know the legal effect of a transaction or


    matter, identify legal risks that one should consider further and
    manage, prove to a regulator that one have been responsible in how
    he applied the law, to back-up ones argument.
