Top Law Schools

I was wondering what people changed about their routines, study habits, etc., that worked?

Also, what do people who rely heavily on supplements for success do when they run into a niche area of law, course, for which there is no supplement, and not even an actual book?

Went to class less, took fewer notes, only did the reading at the end of the semester. Grades took a dive but my quality of life went way up. If you are still shooting for grade improvement then uh just do the opposite I guess.

Went to way fewer classes (I went to one evidence class), read sometimes, but heavily relied on older outlines. Grades improved

I stopped reading cases/using casebooks, relied on old outlines, and focused on the types of questions that professors asked on old exams.

For exam prep, I would have basically prewritten answer templates for the questions I expected to be asked.

Basically did the same thing all three years. I just got really efficient at it with practice

This. For me, getting started typing was the hardest part. So have pre-written stuff to word vomit to at least get moving. I would also throw in things like this to remind myself to analyze. e.g., "RULE statement. Here, ______" or "RULE (analyze and mention 10b5)" or "RULE. Similarly/Unlike in our case, . . . "
