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

October 13, 2015 By Law School Toolbox Team Leave a 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!
