Law School Discussion

Thanks. Yes, I was referring to the Restatement (Second) of Contracts. Just wanted to confirm that it applies to all K's; not like the UCC Article 2 that only applies to the sale of goods.

if you're taking it in a blue book, sketch out some notes or a like mini-outline right there on the first page before you start writing the exam.  it helps the professor see your thought process and that you're organized.

also, when you start writing, go straight to the issues.  unless your professor has made clear he/she wants a recitation of each rule of law, with complete definitions of each element, you should dive right into the analysis because that's where all the points are .  you'll still get points for knowing the rules too; in a good exam essay, you should be able to couch the rules into your analysis (parentheticals are a helpful tool for this) without wasting time writing them all out beforehand.  this might be one reason you're short on time in your practice exams.

This is a good suggestion. I guess I've been to lengthy on the rules.
Thanks

Thanks!!! Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Thanks. I'm in the NY area. Where do I look for jobs aside from my school's website?

I was just wondering what the benefits of outlining are?? I find it useful for torts, but with regard to civ pro and K I find supplementary outlines sufficient. They organize the material well. I've written outlines for midterms and didn't find writing them so useful. I feel as though my time could have been spent better preparing for the tests. I don't glean any extra knowledge by writing stuff out. Plus, I can always look at upper classman.

So, what are the benefits of making your own outline?
Any thoughts?

THANKS!!
