Every student gradually develops a personal system for taking notes and studying for exams.
Note Taking Note taking is a very idiosyncratic process, but in law school there are three broad categories of style. The first category is for people who try to take down everything that is said in class. The advantages of this all-inclusive system are obvious when exam time rolls around. On the other hand, taking copious notes is not only tiring, it is also physically impossible at times because of the sheer volume of information. It can also divert attention from and interfere with comprehension of critical classroom discussion.
