Secrets to Law School Success #5

In order to learn the application of the law, you have to brief at least 1,000 cases. However, short-form questions and answers will accomplish the same result.

It takes about 45 minutes to fully brief a case. It only takes about 2 minutes to do a short form question and answer. Even if the questions and answers were half as effective as case briefing, in actuality they are 80% as effective, they would still provide an enormous advantage in saving time in learning the application of the law.

If you want to be preoccupied with conventional case briefing in order to learn how to apply the law, you will waste a lot of time and effort. Conventional case briefing is too time-consuming. You do not have time to research the other 800 cases (for each course) that are not in your casebook in order to learn the application of the law. Brief the cases in your casebook and then do short-form questions and answers.
