If you reside in the northeast, you are probably preparing to be snowed in. After you have safely made your way home and loaded up on batteries, flaslights, candles, food, and water, what next? The storm can provide an opportunity to catch up, and get ahead in, your spring semester courses.
Bring your casebooks home, so you can catch up on reading and briefing cases. If your case briefs and class notes are on your computer, print them out. If you have hard copies, you will be able to correct briefs and clean up class notes– even if you lose power. Additionally, you can then use those printed materials to get started on outlines.
You may have a legal writing project underway, or you may be about to start one. Print a hard copy of the assignment to avoid losing the opportunity to work on the asignment if you lose electricity. If you have begun to do research for the asignment, print out the cases and secondary materials to create a case file. Use the printed materials to make headway on the assignment during Storm Juno.
Above all, stay safe as you ride out the storm. But do not lose the opportunity to take advantage of the snowdays that come as a result of the storm.
