I figure I'll use Word, but One Note could be interesting. I haven't researched this much yet. I'm used to ye ol' paper and pencil. Does anyone else have a take?

I'm a huge fan of OneNote.  You can read the thread on that here:  http://www.lawschooldiscussion.org/prelaw/index.php/topic,59768.0.html

I am going to get One Note.  Especially since some people have spoken so highly of it.

The CNET review of OneNote has good things to say, but it also mentions that many of OneNote's features are available for free with EverNote…

If you're looking for just the "basic features," which is what the CNET review is saying is available for free with EverNote, you can just stick with Word or any other word processing program.  The biggest features that I like that I do not think are on EverNote include (1) cross-page, cross-section, and cross-notebook searching, plus a preview window to see all the results of the search in one fell swoop and (2) note flags to mark down important things, key cases (they have a picture of a key!), etc., also with a window so you can see all your flagged paragraphs at once
