For those already in law school – here’s a quick tip. Don’t wait until you’re preparing for finals – buy some law school study guides now. Really – before Halloween is not too soon! They can be really useful for understanding what you should be learning in your classes, and will be invaluable once you really start finals prep.
During my first semester, I waited until I really needed them, and then had to be sure to order ones available on Amazon Prime. You don’t need that kind of stress!
You can ask your professors for their recommendations, ask other students, browse at the bookstore, or check out the reviews on Amazon. Everyone has their own learning style and preferences, so you may want to test out a few different types of study guides. I always liked the Examples & Explanations and Crunchtime series.
Good luck!
