Let's face it ... law students need to memorize. For example, many law school academic support websites counsel you to memorize an "Attack Outline" for each subject just before finals. How many exceptions are there to the Hearsay Rule? You might as well have a checklist of those exceptions when you begin the Evidence exam. Both of those examples are, essentially, lists. In this video, I demonstrate how to memorize a long list in a few minutes. #LawStudent #LawStudents #PreLaw #LegalEducation #lawschool

Law students, if your fall grades were inconsistently high and low, consider your ability to analyze the different rule structures common to each class. If you did well in Torts, Criminal Law, Remedies, Evidence, and Professional Responsibility, you successfully analyzed element-based rules—you understood that all claim or defense elements had to be satisfied to conclude a certain way and are likely linear thinkers. If you did well in Constitutional Law or Criminal Procedure, you were successful in applying and distinguishing cases to achieve an outcome for a new set of facts—you understood how Constitutional rights were violated or upheld and walked yourself through a roadmap approach (“if yes, then go down this route, if no then another route”) to each Amendment.  It’s trickier if you did well in Civil Procedure, Contracts, Property, Community Property, Estates, or Business Associations because these classes require you to combine the above-mentioned rule structures and sometimes include balancing tests, weighing factors, and alternative rule structures.  These are not absolutes but guidelines—it’s another way to think about your strengths and weaknesses on your fall exams to improve upon them this spring. And, if you did well in Legal Writing, you obviously followed the sound tips and expertise of Amanda Haverstick!  #lawstudent #lawschool #lawstudents 

Law students, listening to others who disagree with you doesn’t mean you’ve given up on your own opinions and convictions. It shows you maintain a humble intellectual perspective. Good lawyers know their opponents’ case just as well as their own case. They listen to analyze the strength of opponents who (sometimes vehemently) disagree with them. Get comfortable outside your own echo chamber to expand your current convictions and opinions. #lawstudent #prelaw #lawstudents #lawschool

Law students, the best arguments are not resolved by landing on the same page. The best reconciliation is the meeting of two minds that hold completely different views. Stop focusing on being right or always having the better argument. Start trying to gain understanding of another perspective. The win is mutual respect and reciprocal understanding of another human being. #lawschool #lawstudent #lawstudents
