Whether you’re a 1L or seasoned law school student, chances are your professor has assigned you a casebook or two. But do you know how to get the most out of the ebooks you have on Casebook Connect? Use these tips to help you get ahead and track your progress throughout your law school career.
Highlighting, notes, annotations—it’s more than just a static text. The Casebook Connect platform enables search (a student favorite) and helps you get organized and efficient. The Socratic method used in Law School is different from any other learning style you may have encountered before, and being able to answer a professor's question on the spot by quickly pulling up the relevant case or statute is a game-changer. No more frantic flipping through pages or trying to decipher illegible notes! You can even set up labels for your highlighter colors (facts, issues, rules, etc.) Plus, the case-briefing tool is a lifesaver when it comes to organizing your notes and outlining your assignments.
Watch a short video or see the quick start guide to see how to best use all of these features.
You can access your notes and eBooks offline as well. Watch this tutorial to see how!
And let's not forget about the study tools! If your eBook comes with a Study Center, you’ll also get access to study questions from great titles like Examples & Explanations, Glannon Guides, and more. Plus, if you find those types of questions helpful, you can always add the full study guide eBook version to your Casebook Connect account, too.
Additional Tips:
- Customize your highlights and annotations to suit your study style.
- Test your knowledge regularly with practice questions and quizzes.
- Don't skip the explanatory videos; they can provide valuable insights and clarification.
- Take advantage of the case-brief tool to streamline your note-taking and outlining process.
