As a new 1L with vast prior life experience, I'm finding that a lot of the work in law school truly is busy work, and not efficient from an education perspective. I've spent at least 20 hours wasting time formatting my outlines, only for them to replicate outlines already out there. Also, I find that one professor wants you to memorize a legal rule one way, even if it's contrary to the Restatement. I'd much rather go back in time and not do my own outlines, and rather spend time absorbing the commercial outline and filling in any gaps with professor nuances. It takes time to conceptualize everything as a 1L, and the way law is taught is pretty archaic and lacks efficiency. Your advice is golden.
The only thing that really helped me with reading comp was actively visualizing what I was reading. Skimming and going back gave me the same score as a thorough read-through the first time

Great Idea! We'll add that to the list (we have about a million ideas for new videos). In the mean time, check out our video on why case briefs are evil: th-cam.com/video/qO_vHZi8Boo/w-d-xo.html The free case guide we mention in that video will show you how to understand your cases and prepare for class without having to write case briefs.
one big tip from me to everyone: Don't be that person that take notes all the time during class. People often thinks it helps while it doesnt for most people. Continiously having to swap between writing down your notes, and actually paying attention to the class will hurt your braingains
I just subscribed to your channel and am loving the content. I had to take a law class in my undergraduate program in Education law. It was interesting.
bingo. not a law student but nursing student. contact previous students for study guides..some may charge you but its worth it...and buy test banks from lots of publishers..saves time and not reinvent the wheel.. i rather spend $500 tuition on whats listed above than stack of required books for the class
