It gives them an overview of questions to ask that they can then work through in order to identify the relevant issues in the problem question.
It does not cover every single question that an be asked and each area will require more detailed additional steps (such as five steps to establish economic duress) but can be helpful in giving them a rough idea of structure.
It can be printed in A3 although the text is a little small and it would benefit from being printed higher. However, the PDF is high quality so can easily be read and worked from on a screen.
