Welcome to the Law School Toolbox podcast for our special series on starting off on the right foot in law school! In today's episode, we're focusing on a very important question: What exactly are you supposed to pay attention to in class in order to make the most of your class time?

In this episode we discuss:

What law school isn't about
The most important things to pay attention to in class
Understanding the grey areas of the law and the ambiguities in fact patterns
Some of the lessons Lee and Alison learned during their time in law school
How to structure your class notes
How can you stay engaged when class is boring?
Why should you review your notes within a few days of class?

It provides a full overview of the skills you need in law school, along with opportunities to practice and get feedback from a Law School Toolbox tutor.
