Outlining Hints Plus Free Outline Sites

The Law School Academic Support Blog provides outlining tips in its recent post, Course Outlines as Master Documents.  According to this post, an outline should, “include all of the essential information from one’s briefs, casebook, and class notes.  In short, one should not have to go back to those materials again.  The outline is truly the master document for exam study.”  The outline should be condensed later in the studying process to provide a checklist for memorization.

Some sites for free outlines include:

• Westlaw has free outlines available from its Black Letter Law series for all the first year subjects plus constitutional law.  LexisNexis also has Outlines on limited number of subjects.
• Dono Dare – outlines written by law students around the country.
• Findlaw – Outlines and Exams
• ILRG Law Student Outlines
• NYU Law Student Bar Association Outlines
