8 Tips To Get You Started On Writing Law School Outlines
Importance of outline - One of the most important tools for studying for exams in law school is the outline.
Strategies for the outline and step-by-step process are essential for making your mark in the recent Virtual Office Hours session with the Law Student Division.
Start your outline early in the semester - You should not wait until the end of the semester to create all your outlines, but rather you should start outlining within the first few weeks of class.
Your class notes are your most important resource - Your class notes are the best source of material for your outline because your professor is writing the exam.
Make your own outline - It is still important to make your own outline because the process of outlining is how you are going to learn the material.
Do not type up your class notes - There is often a lot of extraneous class discussion that ends up in your class notes and doesn't need to be in your outline.
Your outline should be a compilation - Your outline should be a compilation of class notes, notes from the casebook, and any supplements you are using to understand the material.
The length of your outline doesn't matter - it's so much about the length of your outline as starting on it early, continuing to work on it regularly, and knowing the material in the outline.
