I began studying law in 2015 and absolutely love it. Law is a challenging, rewarding, and intellectually stimulating field - but let me emphasis challenging. Since most of us are only human, it's useful to have some systems and little study hacks up your sleeve so that you can retain the copious amounts of knowledge being dumped on you in law school - and that is the very purpose of this blog.

I hope to provide tips and study hacks that will make life at law school just that much easier.

Let me say from the get-go that there is no way to “cheat” at law school. If you put in 10% effort, you will not get an HD. You'd probably fail quite miserably. As law students, we work really, really hard.

But more of that later.

For now, I have compiled a list of things I wish I’d known before I began law school...

1.     Your desk cannot be big enough.
2.    There’s no “one way” to write lecture notes.
3.    Good organisation habits lead to better grades.
4.    Textbooks cost more than you think (trust me).
5.    Checking your emails every 4 hours is not enough.
6.    To do lists get things done.
7.    Boolean Searching (which is a real thing) is essential.
8.    Yellow highlighters photocopy clear.
9.    The year will go by really really fast.

I could go on. But these 9 things are the things I want to leave you with.
