1. Show up and do the work! This may seem elementary, but
it’s important nonetheless. Succeeding in law school means doing
the reading, briefing, and studying that’s assigned.

2. Figure out what works for you—and stick to it. There isn’t
necessarily a “right” or “wrong” way to study in law school, and
different study methods work for different law students. Be it study
groups or flash cards, experiment with various study methods and
tools to find out what works best with your learning style. Be
careful of relying too much on commercial study materials: use them
as additional study tools, but don’t think they can replace studying
the material on your own.

3. Learn to cull the most important information, put it into an
organized format, and update regularly as you move through each
semester. The cases are important because they illustrate how the
black letter law plays out in different situations, but you must still
learn the black letter law and how to apply it appropriately in order
to succeed on your law school exams (and, ultimately, the bar
exam.) Whether you use a traditional outline, flow charts, or some
other method, you must learn to spot the information that’s
important, create an organized method for putting that information
together, and keep up with your work.

4. Hone the skills you’ll need for writing a successful law school exam.
These include issue spotting skills, analytical skills, logical thinking
skills, and writing skills. Learning the material is only the beginning;
you must also be able to convey effectively what you’ve learned on
your exams. To hone the skills you need, practice exam-taking
under test conditions. Many professors post their past exams or put
them on reserve at the law library; use those past exams to practice
issue spotting, IRAC analysis, logical thinking, and essay writing. If
your school doesn’t put past exams on reserve, then search online
for sample law school examinations.

5. Develop effective and efficient study habits. At the beginning of each
semester, come up with the amount of time you’ll need to spend on
studying each week, then schedule in your study time, work
schedule, and social activities and follow the schedule you set.
Prepare for the program, the class, and the professor: different
professors and different courses can require different methods of
preparation, analysis, and writing. Learn to figure out what your
professors expect from you (it never hurts to ask!) and prepare
accordingly.

6. Take advantage of the resources that your school offers, including:
writing labs; tutoring; practice exams; study sessions; guided study
groups; academic workshops; and other academic and student
support programs. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Make sure you
seek out additional assistance at the first sign of academic difficulty:
it’s best to address academic issues as early as possible.

7. Take advantage of opportunities for practical education and
experience that your law school offers. Law school teaches you to
think like a lawyer—but clinical and practical programs can show
you what law practice is like, provide you with great experience,
and offer you a way to stand out among other candidates for
employment. Seek out law student clinics, externships or internships,
and student activities that introduce you to law practice.

8. Participate in class and get involved in your law school community.
Professors notice students who participate freely and intelligently,
and you will get more out of your law school experience if you do.
.
9. Beat law school burn-out. With a rigorous curriculum, grueling work
schedule, and often competitive atmosphere, law school can afford
few chances for work-life balance. But staying balanced is a must,
in order to avoid burn-out. Learn to compartmentalize various
responsibilities, be it studying, work, internships, or family time;
then, prioritize and plan your schedule to handle all of your
responsibilities. And make sure you make time for yourself: carve
out some time for an activity that you enjoy.

10. Customize your legal education: explore various academic
programs, opportunities for practical education, social and service
activities, and other resources to help you find what you want to do.
Following your passion is paramount. In the end, your law
school experience – just like your legal career – should be about
you.:(262)::(262):
