Studying in law school is not one-size fits all. Each student learns in a different way. The key is to recognize the type of learner you are and use that information to optimize your study style - for YOU. 

In this episode we talk bout:

• The three main types of learning styles - Auditory, Visual and Kinesthetic
• Whether learning styles even exist
• How to figure out your learning preferences you are
• Specific techniques for each learning style in law school
• How to outline and what type of learner should (and shouldn't) utilize outlining
• Why you should probably handwrite your outlines
• The basics of attack plans, and why they're important (for everyone!)
• Using checklists vs. roadmaps for your attack plans
• Flowcharts, Flashcards, and Mnemonics and who can benefit from them
