A Masterclass In Studying as a First Class Law Student

If you want to study like a first class law student, you NEED to stop taking notes. When we're at school we're never really taught how to study, and this leads people to adopting a default position. One where we rely on reading, re-reading, highlighting, underlining, summarising textbooks, writing down everything the lecturer says, and rote memorisation. Unfortunately, this is an extremely passive way to learn and hundreds of studies have demonstrated that this is an extremely ineffective method of revising a subject. So in this video I break down the two-step method that every law student should take when trying to study law.
