Question for OT Lawyers from a current law student
Posted on 3/11/18 at 8:32 pm

I'm addressing a limited audience here, but I am seeking some advice. I am currently in my first year of law school, and I am taking evidence this semester. I am wondering what the best method is to commit rules from the Federal Rules of Evidence to memory? With so many rules, it starts to get jumbled up.

I didn't have any trouble just using flashcards.

you need to make charts (hand write them) to organize the big concepts and include the rules in the concepts
then one big Exceptions box for the randoms
it's more about understanding the overall concepts and they "Why" and the rest (other than the weirdo exceptions) works itself out

Remember the important ones and scrub them hard into your brain.
You don’t need to know 1000 by heart. But you need to know about 25 by heart. At least for school and the bar.

Yeah, I am on spring break this week and I am doing a heavy duty review to go over everything we have covered so far.

Good luck bro.

I wouldn't sweat it that much. You'd be surprised how many practicing lawyers don't know what hearsay actually is, much less what the exceptions are.

Just accept the fact that you won’t learn much in law school, and you’ll have to teach yourself how to practice law when you get out.
Especially with a subject like evidence, which can only truly be learned through mock trials or real courtroom experience. So for evidence, my best advice for learning evidence is to participate in as many mock trials as possible. I don’t have any advice on how to get a good grade in evidence class. Combination of flash cards and hypotheticals, I guess.
