Law School 101: Surviving Your First Year:
Law School 101 was written with law students in mind. It was also developed to meet the needs of those who seek to acquire a rudimentary understanding of the legal system without necessarily being prepared to argue matters in a courtroom. This publication provides a quick rudimentary overview of the major doctrines covered in first-year law courses. The major disciplines that make up the substantive law have been arranged in an order consistent with the traditional study of law. Getting a good grasp of the fundamental courses is vital to understanding the general principles of law and provides a basis for future law courses.
Many of the cases cited are from other countries around the globe. Modern American jurisprudence is a culmination of legal systems found worldwide. Memorizing is not as helpful as understanding the basic principles of law. Taking notes and using them to develop an outline is standard practice for law students and helps to retain the information. One of the most important aspects of the study of law is being able to view both sides of a legal issue and argue with either side.
A verbatim video course titled" Law School 101: Surviving Your First Year is available on Udemy.com along with other business-related courses written and narrated by Shane Irvine. The Law School 101 course provides the necessary knowledge necessary to acquire college accreditation via the CLEP Exam Prep for Introductory Business Law.
The standard practice for all law students is to take extensive notes and use these notes to build an outline. Taking notes is important because the material covered is less than exciting and it is all to easy to drift off. Even if you never go back to read your notes, the very fact that you wrote it down helps transform the information into memory. It's not about memorizing cases and being able to rattle off long verbatim legal dictums, it's about learning how to think like a lawyer.
