Also, find some chill classmates who aren't super uptight about school and make friends/study with them. If I was only around stressed/intense people all the time that really really cared about class, I would have dropped out (and I still thought about it all the time). Don't get me wrong, I still like my uptight/tryhard friends and I've worked with a lot of people like that in law school, but chill friends you can trust (and that don't make you feel pressured/self conscious about work) are clutch.

About the "don't brief" thing, I get the logic, but there was this one week where things were hectic and I just book briefed. Now I'm outlining, and outlining the parts where I don't have a brief coated with class notes was much more time consuming. (I diagram my notes instead of writing them on lined paper, so I have a brief that's basically a chart and I fill it in during class).

I take class notes directly on my briefs, and it's supremely helpful in organizing my notes.

That said, I only spend 5-10 mins briefing each case, since I have a template and I just fill in some stuff. It's not super time consuming.

okay PnJ that's super impressive - how do you brief CivPro in 10 minutes?

I mean writing the brief after having read and highlighted the case. I.E. the difference between "briefing" a case and "book briefing" a case is 10 mins.
