1L-outlining prior to exam writing
Posted: Wed Dec 16, 2015 8:31 pm
I'm attempting to take and pass the first year law school student exam. I think my weakness is organizing the question before starting to write. I need to outline better prior to writing my exams. I'm wondering if there is a resource to help me on this. For example, a manual with exercises emphasizing strategies on outlining, exercises, timing, etc...I think that if I can lay down an outline and then start writing I can improve. I have very limited guidance from the bar review I purchased as far as outlining (Fleming's Fundamentals). I have searched and have found ideas, and how others go about outlining, the concepts but just would like something hands on I can actually follow and test myself on. Any ideas, suggestions, comments are greatly appreciated. BTW, I read about LEEWES and since there is such differing opinions I'm skeptical. Seems that one may be useful for someone just starting but I been at this for close to two years and I'm not sure if LEEWS goes into detail on this subject or just gives ideas on how to. I would like something I could practice consistency on and can measure my progress. Thanks again.
