How I ranked 1st at law school - The Efficient Study Framework

- Approximately 10% of law students will complete their studies as the proud owner of a first-class degree, which makes it statistically the hardest degree to get top grades in. This is pretty daunting, but I think a lot of the problems stem from the generic advice offered by professors and peers. Their advice is often repetitive, mostly subjective, and has no real evidential basis as to whether it actually it works or how you can apply to studying law. So, in this video I break down the Efficient Study Framework I used when revising for my exams, supported with evidence, which ultimately helped me to rank first at law school.

How this does not have millions of views, I will never know. Incredible, concise, evidence based advice that can help so many, not just law students, but students of so many disciplines. Incredible work - keep it up.
Thank you for your really kind comment, it genuinely means a lot to hear this feedback 😁 If I can just help one person with my videos that's enough, but I'll keep putting in the work and see where it takes me haha. Good luck with your studies! 👍🏻
I wish these info was available 30 years ago when I was studying law. I’m thinking of going back to further study and these tips are priceless.
Thank you - I really appreciate that!
as a first year law student, i’m extremely thankful for this video

Ahhh 😌 Los quiero o aprecio ambos por igual.
pero más Clara 😂😂.
Espero que tengan un buen día, gracias por el contenido de ambos a sí verdad tengo voy a ver la Masterclass de Skillshare. Voy a poner una alarma para recordarlo.
@@Jornanfuentes 😂😂😂
Wonderful ideas. Thanks very much. I'm curious as to where you located your questions relative to your progressive summary, as they seemed to share the same heading structure.
I put the questions in a separate toggle within the progressive summary structure
@@heygarethevans Thank you!
Helpful
Can we study without any institution?
This guy will blow up one day
I'm sure
Thank you! That means a lot! 😁
@@heygarethevans You're welcome
Thanks for a great video. What program do you use for your progressive summarisation?
Thanks! I use a desktop & mobile app called Notion (their website is Notion.so), and it's an absolute game-changer 👍🏻

Hey! 👋
I'm still not entirely sure how the interleaving method works. Could someone please explain what applying the interleaving sheets in practice would look like? Is he just studying different subjects all in one day? I don't mean this as a criticism I'm actually just confused.
Hi Atty. I dont understand quite well the concept of Interleaving, particularly as to how I'd correlate topics of diff modules and areas of law. Can I humbly ask if you can elaborate it further? Thanks!
Also, what app do you use for progressive summarization?
This helps a lot! Thank you 💚
Hey, thanks for the questions!
Firstly, with interleaving in law, the point is you don't want to just revise the different modules/areas together. For example, it's not efficient to revise ONLY land law on Monday, ONLY criminal law on Tuesday, etc. It's a far better use of your time to revise multiple different modules in one day. For example, on Monday you could revise something from land law, criminal law, and commercial law. Then on Tuesday you could revise from another three different modules or something like that.
And the interleaved study sheet helps you do this. By writing down the topics you've already revised from all your different modules, you can see what stuff you know well and what you know less well. Then when you sit down to revise, you just choose to learn your weakest topics (regardless of the module), which automatically helps you to interleave your study. Does that make sense?
The app I use for progressive summarisation is Notion. It's a brilliant app and I literally manage my entire life using it, so it's 100% worth checking out!
Thanks for watching 😁
@@heygarethevans Hi Atty.! Thank you for your response! I truly appreciate it ☺️ I find it difficult for me to go to class since I can't finish all my readings. Our legal education here in the PH employs the Socratic method. Hence, too many things to memorize all in one day 😪 In this regard, can I also ask as to how do you review law materials, from cases and the annotations of the law in its rawest form up to its consolidated form (e.g. it's already in flash cards or progessively summarized?). It would really help me to use my time and brain (LOL) efficiently huhu. Thank you so much! I am a fan of both you and your channels, and I hope I'll get to be trained by you in the future!
^Haha I used my dummy account to respond. Sorry for that :)
How do I practice the Feynman technique? Do I just speak out loud to myself?
You can either speak out loud or write it out! Find the solution that works best for you 😄
How many question should there be max for a topic?
Although it would depend on the particular topic, I try to ensure there is no more than 50 questions in a topic (e.g, Registered Land) and a maximum of 10 questions in each sub-topic (e.g. overriding interests)! Ideally you would be creating questions on the most important pieces of information and not things you already know quite well, which should help to keep it short 😁
what software do you use for your notes?
My 2 favourite apps are Notion and Anki 👍🏻
what's the app are you using for that subtitle things ?
It’s a Final Cut Pro plug-in 😊
Best wishes from Bangladesh 🌺
Thank you! 😁
At least you dont have to learn codes of law by heart
They all copy that Ali chap by saying "hi friends blah blah"
