&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s some sound advice for incoming 1Ls from the&amp;nbsp;Res Ipsa blog: Ten Tips for Future Law Students: How to Succeed in Law School&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An interesting comment in response to the somewhat counterintuitive tip #10 (&amp;#8220; Don&amp;#8217;t underestimate the value of after-class review or overestimate the value of reading for class.&amp;#8221;):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal&quot;&gt;This is a start toward the transformational notion, which is this: read the cases ONLY after the class which has discussed them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal&quot;&gt;Think about how many times you read a case, only to have the professor not reach it. Do you reread the next time, or just rely on the first read? Never happens with the &amp;#8216;read after&amp;#8217; method. Think about how many times you read a case, only to not quite grasp the essential point. Never happens with the read after method, as the class has just provided the point, which you can reinforce with the careful &amp;#8216;after read&amp;#8217;.&lt;?xml:namespace prefix=&quot;o&quot; ns=&quot;urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office&quot;?&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal&quot;&gt;You&amp;#8217;d think this would cause a problem with class participation[but] that&amp;#8217;s overrated anyway &amp;#8230;Turns out that the best preparation for stellar class participation is a thorough understanding of the previous few day&amp;#8217;s work; the ability to reference back intelligently, along with some modest fancy footwork, serves perfectly well.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal&quot;&gt;Listen carefully, read after. It works.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;-posted by brian&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;118&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://crazyabouttv.com/Images/paperchase.jpg&quot; width=&quot;113&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, Professor Kingsfield expects you to do ALL your reading before class&lt;/p&gt;
