Beginning of April is credited from what I hear. March seems like a good time to get ahead in the reading and get up to date on outlines.Bronck wrote:Was wondering the same thing.

What do you guys think is the best time to start PTs this time around? I was thinking the beginning of April, with outlining hopefully done over spring break and updated as needed.

i think March 1 is when I start hitting the supps hard and memorizing BLL. I like to outline toward the end because its an awesome refresher. I never end up using my outlines in exams, so they are just for memorizing things.mephistopheles wrote:yeah, i've been just keeping up in my outlines. it's time to start outlining my outlines and reading supplements.

i just continually outline. at the end, i go through my compiled outline, and then make a small attack outline.
it's funny, though. even during my shortest exam (3.5 hours), i still used my long outline just to make sure i was hitting everything just right.

I would join you guys but I already started to outline, if only so I can tell people I started my outlining in February as I scramble to finish outlines a day before finals start.

Count me in. Summer job prospects, or lack thereof haha, have kept me too distracted from the grind. Graded and curved LRW, ConLaw (actually enjoying), CrimLaw (also enjoying), and Property (couldn't care less but my professor is an anti-establishment boss).

I'll start outlining once I take a few days off after this damn brief. I can't even imagine what this would be like for a grade.

Thankfully the grading is arbitrary enough that we don't actually worry about it too much. It still fucking sucks though.Nelson wrote:I'll start outlining once I take a few days off after this damn brief. I can't even imagine what this would be like for a grade.

I feel for you guys. I can imagine the standards for this must be totally random. The hiding the ball is bad enough in the doctrinal classes. Legal writing is a whole other level of obscure misdirection.Blumpbeef wrote:Thankfully the grading is arbitrary enough that we don't actually worry about it too much.
