September 4, 2013 By Law School Toolbox Team 4 Comments

Visual Learners in Law SchoolAs a law student, it can be useful to understand your learning preferences, so that you can craft your studying habits accordingly. (Although no one is only one style, and certain tasks are more suited to one style than another. Don’t be afraid to mix it up!)

There are three types of learning styles: visual, auditory and kinesthetic. If you’re not sure what type of learner you are, take this quiz to find out.

Today’s post will focus on the best study tools for visual learners. But don’t worry; we also have tips for auditory learners and the kinesthetic folks. And, if you’d like more strategies for visual learners, check out this podcast.

September: Studying Smart in Law School

September 1, 2013 By Lee Burgess Leave a Comment

studyingThis is the time of year that we talk to a lot of different law students — 1Ls, 2Ls and 3Ls. And one thing seems to be on everyone’s mind – how do I “study smart” to maximize the effectiveness of my study hours.

In order to be effective, you want to evaluate your study process from reading cases before class to working on outlines. Because we appreciate that everyone is worried about how much time they are putting into studying and preparing for class, we wanted to dedicate this month to helping you get the most out of your study time.

Trying to Rescue Your Time

August 15, 2013 By Lee Burgess 2 Comments

Last month, Alison and I attended a conference in San Francisco called ALT SF. What was cool about this conference was that it was about blogging and online creative businesses and not about the law. Not that we don’t enjoy law conferences, yet it was fascinating to be surrounded by a bunch of people doing interesting things but whom we typically don’t meet. It was a good reminder that you can learn a lot from folks who aren’t necessarily your legal peers. laptopuser

Anyway, in one of the talks, a speaker said she used Rescue Time, an online time- management/self-assessment tool. You know how Alison and I love talking about time management, so I decided I would try it out to see if I thought it could be helpful to our readers. [Read more…] about Trying to Rescue Your Time

Maxey, author of the Barrister on a Budget blog, who will help you understand why learning how to monitor your expenses now will save you tremendously as time goes on. Welcome, Jenny! 

“I’m horrible at math, but great at reading and writing – so I became a lawyer.”  A very common phrase uttered by law students; maybe even you! However, it’s time to dust off the calculators and bone-up on your mathematics because you cannot survive law school or a career in the law without it!

With tuition rates on the rise and the average attorney salary decreasing, you must be more strategic and financially responsible than those who came before you. [Read more…] about Why Adding Budgeting Skills to Your Toolbox is Important
