>>5408102Are you saying it's 4 years post-grad or a 4-year undergraduate program? In the US you need at least a 4-year degree before you can even start the 3-year law program.
My approach was to start with the realization that the only thing that mattered was how well I performed on exams. American law school professors are fond of using the Socratic method in their lectures, which consists of intimidating students with endless grilling, hypothetical questions, public shaming, and zero actual explanation of the course material. I realized that most people were being intimidated into approaching the curriculum from the standpoint that they wanted to look good in class instead of performing well on the exam. This was pointless, because it's very rare that the professor will allow you to look intelligent in class, no matter how well you know your shit.
Since I knew that 100% of my grade in most courses was going to be a single exam, and since I knew my professors weren't going to teach me the material, I purchased commercial outlines for every course that I could. (There's a company called Emanuel that publishes these things for all first year and most second year courses). I'd look at whatever we were studying that day, read the Emanuel outline for that topic, create my outline for the exam from them, and then read the cases we were going to go over in class if I had time. This way, I got an overview of the material and was writing a detailed outline all year instead of scrambling to make a shitty one at exam time. If my law school didn't enforce an attendance policy, I could literally have skipped all my classes, shown up for exam day, and collected my A or B.
