For those that don't brief... Forum

For those who don't brief or for those who use a reduced/LEEWS method what are you doing that takes up study time?

[TTH]

For one, you just spend less time studying. The time you do spend, you spend book briefing, organizing your notes, outlining (maybe), doing hypos, etc.

Seems like the author of that article says to not brief at all and to replace case briefing time with supplements. What else should one be doing if they elect not to spend time doing traditional case briefs? At some point I know outlining takes up a lot of time..

You work through application. MC problems, essay exams, CALI, etc.

Serious reply: Very few people replace briefing with other studying mechanisms when they stop briefing. And this is perfectly fine.

Don't need to replace it with anything. Doing the readings, going to class, outlining, and doing practice exams are the only essentials, anything extra is individual preference. It's not about filling up a certain amount of study time, it's studying efficiently.

This. Remember, the enemy's base is down. You're not looking to score points by getting the CALI in every class. You're looking to get a damn job out of this experience. Law school is a series of hoops that you jump through in order to take the bar and build an impressive resume for your future employer. It is not an end unto itself. Do well, yes. But be aware of the goal and try to keep perspective.

Regarding e&e's, I am about to do my first civ pro reading and refer to the e&e and professor recommended hornbook for guidance. I'm told it's way too early to outline, but should working through the models in the e&es be saved for later or done as you go?

Why not go through the models now and then go over them again in November / December when it's close to finals. I would go over them now for sure to make sure you are learning the law correctly.
