Podcast Episode 16: Study Strategies for Different Learning Styles in Law School

October 13, 2015 By Law School Toolbox Team 1 Comment

Law School Toolbox podcastWelcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast!

Studying in law school is not one-size fits all. Each student learns in a different way. The key is to recognize the type of learner you are and use that information to optimize your study style — for YOU.

In this episode we talk about:

  • The three main types of learning styles – Auditory, Visual and Kinesthetic
  • Whether learning styles even exist
  • How to figure out your learning preferences you are
  • Specific techniques for each learning style in law school
  • How to outline and what type of learner should (and shouldn’t) utilize outlining
  • Why you should probably handwrite your outlines
  • The basics of attack plans, and why they’re important (for everyone!)
  • Using checklists vs. roadmaps for your attack plans
  • Flowcharts, Flashcards, and Mnemonics and who can benefit from them

Enjoy!

    […] It is critical that you engage in study habits and practices that work for you. It makes absolutely no difference what worked for that 3L student that likes to extoll the virtues of his or her way of studying for a class, if it doesn’t suit your style of learning.
