1L Survival Wiki

Sue Altmeyer, Electronic Services Librarian, sue.altmeyer@law.csuohio.edu | November 13, 2008 - 09:26

The How to Survive Your First Year of Law School Wiki has lots of helpful hints such as:

  • "Do your own outlines" (Although others in the Discussion section disagreed)
  • "After first year try to clerk. There is no substitute for real world exposure."
  • "Speak up in class. Participating actively in class is the best way both to "get it" and to evaluate for yourself how you are doing."
And of course, my favorite:
  • "Use the library to fill in gaps. It isn't just a study hall. The library has books [and CDs too!] that can help you understand material that is not clear from assigned reading or lectures. Ask the librarian."

Because anyone can edit the Wiki, take some of the advice with a grain of salt.

Thanks to the Legal Writing Prof Blog.
