Exam Tip: Outline!
As the exam period gets closer, the ASL Library wanted to pass along some study tips and ideas, especially for our 1Ls.
Today's tip is to outline your courses. Some "experts" say you should begin outlining while the course is in progress; others say you should wait until the end so that you have the "big picture" in mind.
We would recommend trying to put together an outline based on black-letter law. Pull out the majority rule, and then perhaps any exceptions. Here might be a short snippet from our 1L Torts outline:
Battery
(1) intent to harm
example: infant pulls out chair from adult; Court says "not enough that act is intentionally done" but must have intent to harm (Garratt v Dailey)
(2) actual harm
