How do I recover after falling way behind on reading
Con law is rough...fell behind about a 100 pages with the reading and need to figure out a way to catch up. Any thoughts/ideas? Final is in late April.

Skip the textbook and just figure out what pages in Chemerinsky correspond to the cases you were assigned. That'll help you prepare for the final, and reading the case at this point probably won't help you as much.

Go to Westlaw, pull up assigned case, read introductory paragraph, read headnotes applicable to the topic of the class, repeat until all assigned cases are complete.

you could also get an old outline for your casebook or a Legalines. Legalines usually suck, but the one for the Stone conlaw casebook is pretty good.porgie wrote:Skip the textbook and just figure out what pages in Chemerinsky correspond to the cases you were assigned.

Last semester I read literally the entire semester's assignments for torts in the three days between contract and tort. It's possible. Just have to put your mind to it.

Re: How do I recover after falling way behind on reading
pretty sure the answer is just read. 100 pages is not a lot.

Isn't 100 pages just 3 days of reading? That's nothing.

Final isn't for another month and a half. You should be able to knock that shit out in half a day.

Re: How do I recover after falling way behind on reading
I wish I could knock off 100 pages of ConLaw reading that quickly. My professor goes over the material in intense detail and a single instance of being unprepared during class drops your grade. The professor gets everyone involved and the whole class is like being in a battlefield and trying to dodge the gunfire that is going over your head in every direction. Of our whole section, I'd say a third of the class gets called on every single class. So I have to put SO much extra effort into noting all the little details and nuances when I read for that class. 100 pages would be an eternity.

Meh. The 285 pages is no biggie. It's the paper I have to write by Friday that's the problem.Miracle wrote:Start reading and get off TLS!
