subject: Make The Most Of Your Studying Time In Law School [print this page] My biggest worry the first time I entered law school was the absence of fun for the rest of my stay. I was thinking then that due to the vast amount of academic work I have to cope up with, I will be too preoccupied to even have the time for other things.
Later on, I realized that law school is not just about serious studying. It also includes fun too. Indeed, there is room for entertainment but only if you have enough discipline to last through the course. Here is how you can manage to get by with ease.
First things first - focus on your classes. While it is true that not all professors are similar, each of them imparts important knowledge just the same. Every time they talk in front of the class, give your undivided attention and make sure you jot down notes. This is a surefire way to spare yourself from wasting time in the long run.
If you don't wish to be always playing catch up, then you need to realize how important reading is. While being familiar with the curriculum might give you the impression of comfort and that you're doing fine at first, homework in law school will you make you realize otherwise.
There is a quick turnaround of homework in law school and before you know it, you might not be able to catch up. So make it a point to be in control of your homework load and see things run around smoothly.
Lastly, whether it's about taking a practice examination or attending tutorials for your classes, make sure that you don't miss any possible opportunities.
Opportunities beyond the usual classroom experience such as these help you enhance what you know about the course content and you will be able to review recent lessons.
If you follow this arsenal of tips, it will sure pave your way to success in your academics. In order to make it materialize, remember to apply it whenever you study.
