Smu Law - how do you guys finish your readings? Or is there another way?
Hey all! SMU Y1 student going into year 2. Guys i have a very serious qn that may seem dumb to some - I get it - but I have to ask.. how on earth do you guys finish your readings?? Corporate law 1 textbook chapter has over 60 pages. Contract law is over 100 pages. How do you guys do it? I keep hearing people say - oh dont bother with the textbooks just read seniors notes and guys I have tried - how the hell do i get the flow of a topic from notes ? Some say read cases only. I do get that as well. But again every case has a different rule different analogy - none of the cases will tell you a flow for exam purposes.
For example: In contract law lets take mistake for example. There is a flow to the entire topic. We will never be able to find that from a case.
Now some of you might say - oh just listen to your lecturer - i do. But this whole point is on pre readings - if u dont pr-read you wont follow your lecturer. If you pre read - 1 chapter has over 100 pages in a textbook, 30 pages in seniors notes , over 20 cases. How do you guys in all honesty keep up with this in a short time?
I feel that no one talks about this because lets admit it we did well in our As to be here so to tell others - hey i'm struggling is like shooting yourself in the foot. But i have no choice anymore. I need help guys - is there an easier method to absorb all the info and still have a life? Cause i spend all my time doing nothing but studying law and I still cant finish the damn readings!
