HOW TO MAKE BETTER NOTES IN LAW SCHOOL

Taking notes and understanding concepts in class simultaneously can be challenging. The 3 years LLB (Hons) program at Blackstone School of Law, which is a recognized teaching center by University of London, values its student’s accessibility. To promote fruitful learning and successful outcomes the students are provided with course guides and handouts before the class, which helps them to keep a track of the topics and lectures and study in a chronological way. Following are the ways in which you can take effective notes for better learning:

  • During the lectures, prime focus should be on understanding the concepts, do smart work and make notes using abbreviations to save time.

  • Do not try to copy paste the PowerPoint or the white board on your notebook.

  • Be consistent with your handwriting or formatting so it is visually appealing, make words bold or underline it to emphasize it.

  • Colour coordinate your notes. For example, use yellow for principles established in a case, blue for statutes, red for exceptions and green for academics.

  • Always do your readings! Reading before class can do wonders for you and saves your time that you would be spending in confusion. Reading after class can help you memorize efficiently.  

  • Make comprehensive case notes and chapter summaries.

  • Make revision notes in one document for exams so you can sit back on the last day and rely on one document.

To save yourself from exhaustion of not having a roadmap for courses, get yourself enrolled in Blackstone School of Law where we provide you with all the relevant material and you just have to relax, get a good cup of coffee and customize your notes in your own way.
