How I Remember Everything I Read in Law School


As a law student, you will be required to read and memorize vast amounts of information, from cases to legislation. 

Keeping all that information straight can be a daunting task, but with the right strategies, you can remember everything you read and perform well in your exams. Here's how:

  1. Take Notes: Writing down important information is a great way to remember it. Jot down key points, summarize cases, and write down definitions or formulas that you need to memorize.
  2. Create Mind Maps: Mind maps are visual representations of information that can help you see connections and relationships between different concepts. They are an effective tool for organizing information and making connections between related concepts.
  3. Use Mnemonics: Mnemonics are memory aids that use associations and acronyms to help you remember information. For example, to remember the elements of a contract, you can create an acronym such as "COC" which stands for Consent, Object certain and Cause of obligation.
  4. Active Learning: Instead of passively reading, engage in active learning techniques, such as teaching the material to someone else, explaining key concepts out loud, or writing essays on the subject. This will help you retain the information better.
  5. Practice, Practice, Practice: Regular practice is key to retaining information. Quiz yourself on the material, practice with past exams, or take practice tests to assess your understanding of the subject.
  6. Get enough sleep: Sleep is essential for memory consolidation, so be sure to get enough rest every night. This will help you retain information better and perform better on exams.
  7. Use Flashcards: Flashcards are a great tool for memorizing definitions, formulas, and key concepts. Write the information on one side of the card and the definition on the other, and practice with them regularly.
  8. Highlight and Underline: Highlighting and underlining key information can help you focus your attention on the most important information, and make it easier to review later.

In conclusion, remembering everything you read in law school requires a combination of effective study techniques such as active reading and active recall and regular practice. By following these tips, you can retain information better, perform well on exams, and succeed in your law studies.
