Law in Contemporary Society
Let's conduct a thought experiment. "If someone you loved were entering as a 1L in September of 2008, how would you help that person do better than you did?"

I sometimes feel that linear comments interrupt dialog. Thus, multiple comment boxes. Perhaps to correlate with multiple suggestions?

I'll go first.

Get hold of secondary sources: i.e., data that a person has interpreted and reduced. (Is the quality of the secondary source then a function of the quality of the reducer? Infinite regress? -- no. Think about it.)

In other words, don't rely on casebooks and lectures for your learning. Rely on "outlines" of your professor's class, and "case-briefs" of your professor's casebook, that other students have put together. Your goal is to accumulate and collate the outlines, using the skill described in the previous paragraph.

I plan to elaborate on this more soon. Sorry to disappoint.

"...how would you help that person do better than you did?"

Andrew, do you mean "do better" only in terms of grades? quality/amount of knowledge gained? overall experience (including social life)? or all of the above?
