Hi Lee! We love this question! Our videos primarily focus on succeeding academically in law school (since there is not a lot of high quality information about exactly how to do that!). However, beyond that, there are a lot of ways to define success in law school (many focus on helping others -- pro bono service, innovating in law, working at/running clinics, etc., or even getting a law firm or government position in a certain field). We focus primarily on the academic side because academic success has the unique ability to open up doors, especially to people who come into law school without a network (e.g. first gen students).
There is no scientific evidence to support the learning styles approache to studying. Rewriting notes when studying or joining a study group are both good things to do.
Thanks, David! The main point we are trying to make is people learn the law in different ways! Some people tend to learn better visually and others tend to learn better by listening to something. For example, some students find it helpful to quiz themselves by rewriting the law. Others find it more helpful to quiz themselves by saying it out loud. We are not trying to say learning styles are the end all be all as people learn different things in different ways.

Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Rewriting notes is good.
We appreciate your comments and input, David!
Making or joining a study group is good.
Thanks! For some it is very helpful. For others it is not. We urge people to do what is best for them!
Should the only goal be to pass the exam? What about the end goal of helping people and being proficient at it?

You can’t help if you don’t know the law.
