Note-taking & study tool recs
Hi all,
Incoming non-traditional 1L here! Starting to do research for my 1L setup (plus answering questions from folks on gifts that would be useful). Given that it’s been a bit of time since I’ve been in school and the tools have changed a lot, would love to hear what’s actually worked for people.
Note-taking apps — What are you using and loving? Tried and hated? I’m a Mac user so not really looking at OneNote, but curious about things like Evernote, GoodNotes, etc. Open to anything that works well in the Apple ecosystem.
iPad/tablet vs. laptop — Do people genuinely use iPads in law school? Would you recommend both? If handwritten is more your thing, have you used something like the remarkable? Would anyone recommend one of those pens /notebooks that voice records and connects it to your notes, or is that overkill?
Digital vs. physical casebooks — I know digital is cheaper but I’ve heard mixed things about reading cases on a screen for hours. Would love to hear thoughts on this.
Other tools/resources — Anything else you swear by that I haven’t thought to ask about? Open to all recs!
