Afternoon everyone!
Hope you are all doing well during this gloomy afternoon. Perfect weather for a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.
This post will list all the things you could need when you start law school. These are things I found to be essentials for productivity and organisation at university.
1) A working laptop. I cannot stress how important a laptop is. Your university will often require you to access things online and complete work on a computer. It is so important to have a laptop. It doesn't have to be the best one or the trendiest one but just one that does its job.
2) Notebooks or A4 lined paper if you like making notes with a pen and paper. If you like to type up your notes instead, you do not need this. I did a mixture of the two when I was studying at university and I prefered the notebooks method as I felt I was more engaged with the information I was writing down but it is absolutely up to you.
3) Planner. This will help you organise your time and allow you to plan things more effectively. I used a diary from Paperchase for my first year of university and then graduated to a bullet journal. Bullet journaling is my favourite method as I enjoy the customisation and the flexibility however it absolute up to you on what things you need to keep track of and how your days and your life looks like to decide.
4) Pens and pencil case. Despite having a laptop, I always carried a pen because our attendance was done on paper and we had to sign under our name and student number. Sometimes my laptop would not cooperate with me so it was useful to have a pen with me to make notes. It acts as an effective backup in case something happens.
5) Highlighters. This is essential as your tutor might reference a particular statute or directive which you might need to know for your exam. During our exams, we were allowed to take a highlighted statute book to refer back to so annotating during class was really helpful during exam season.
6) Sticky tabs. You can mark important textbooks and statutes. This will be so important for during exam season so you will not need to waste valuable revision time marking up and tabbing things.
7) Big bag. You might need to carry lots of statute books and textbooks so its useful to have a lot of room.
8) Folders of various sizes. This will help keep all your material organised and accessible. It will be essential when you reach the exam season as you can easily find and refer back to the information without doing a hunt for in a pile of loose paper.
There is no need for the most expensive stationery or folders to do well. You just need things that will make life easier for you. Find a system of organisation that works for you and stick with it. Hope this post was helpful. I will see you in my next post!
