Product Description
Expert Learning for Law Students is designed to help law students build the analytical skills necessary to succeed in law school, on the bar exam, and in law practice. This book reveals how successful law students and lawyers plan, monitor, and implement their work and it provides detailed guidance regarding individual student personality types and learning styles. The accompanying workbook includes questions and exercises to assist students in practicing the concepts explained in the text.
The second edition includes greater emphasis on students personalizing all strategy suggestions by adapting strategies to their individual learning styles, personality types, and, most importantly, their results and their evaluations of the causes of those results. It includes additional materials designed to help students deal with law school stress and offers insights for ameliorating that stress developed within the Humanizing Legal Education movement. Tips on time management and avoiding procrastination; a revised discussion on case reading reflecting recent research; a new section on using color as a memorization tool; and a revised discussion of how to apply rules to facts and how to apply and distinguish cases are also provided.

 Disappointing January 2, 2008
I read this book before law school and have not found it helpful at all. There are better prep books out there that are much more effecient and direct.

This book really worked for me August 31, 2007

I wasn't planning on posting a review, but I saw the other review today and I really disagreed with it. This book worked for me. It took some time, but I worked through the book and I feel now like I am a much better student. Too many books just tell you what you know and either skim over or ignore how to develop your own learning style. This book may not for everyone -- I know some people who would hate working through the various exercises because it is not how they operate. Personally, I found the exercises extremely helpful and I highly recommend this book.
 Horribe and strewn with grammatical errors August 31, 2007

This book is terrible. It did not help me in my studies; the exercises were pointless busy work; and I had trouble focusing because of the endless typos and grammatical errors. How this book ever made it to press blows my mind.
