-Make sure to be social! There is an endless amount of work that you could do if you wanted to, but you need to find a healthy balance. Forming study groups is also beneficial for your school work, especially to go through practice exams and take up answers.

-Exercise and continue to do things you enjoyed before coming to law school. Sports in particular can be a good way to release your law school stress (e.g. mine was on the soccer field).

-Be very careful about budgeting time for your perspective option paper, as the deadline may be very close to exams.

-The Irwin Law books and recommended readings are great resources.

-Continue to use your study strategies that you used before law school – they worked for you then, and should work in law school too! 

-Get to know your profs by looking at past exams answers, practice questions etc.

-Talk to your professors and ask them questions – it’ll help you to figure out their style and what they expect in an exam setting. Outside of that, there’s a lot you can learn from them and their experiences.
