Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast. Today we're talking about making outlines and other study aids, which are important in helping you make sense of everything you're learning in law school. This episode is based on a question we got from a 1L listener, so don't be shy about reaching out with your own questions! Contact details are below.

In this episode we discuss:

What is an outline and what is its purpose?
Do you really have to make an outline, or are there other viable options?
How should you start outlining?
What materials you need to start outlining
What you should include in your outline
The importance of testing your outline
How you can get help if you are having problems outlining
Common outlining issues we see repeatedly
How to handle cases in your study aids

If you enjoy the podcast, we'd love a nice review and/or rating on iTunes. And feel free to reach out to us directly. You can always reach us via the contact form on the Law School Toolbox website (http://lawschooltoolbox.com/contact).

Thanks for listening! Good luck with those outlines.
