An Overlooked Resource?

In the search for good academic support resources, one that is sometimes overlooked is right under our noses:  our own faculty.  Our faculty colleagues were all very successful law students.  Why not ask them how they outlined or took notes or briefed for their classes?  Some of their old briefs, etc., can serve as powerful and credible examples of what works.  In fact, when you find an example that seems especially appropriate for students to emulate, have the faculty member give a short lunchtime lecture on her particular method.  (Dan Weddle)
