LSAT Powescore Forum explanation
the question asks about how substantive considerations might be applied to the admissibility of a will. Substantive considerations are contrasted with formal rules. In the example in the passage, formal rules are shown to invalidate a will because of the failure to meet witnessing requirements even though the person executing the will meant for the will to be respected. Therefore, I need an answer choice that shows me a judge would reach a different decision using substantive considerations. The opposite would be that this will without witnesses is still accepted even though it doesn't meet the formal requirement. I need a substantive reason why a judge might accept it.
但我看不出來為何( E ) not meet the formal requirement. (E)只是他的 requirement 是verbal witness
