Negotiating Settings: Understand Which Are Best

Negotiating

As a law student, you will have a long list of challenging, and hopefully enormously inspiring, subjects to study, including the art of negotiating and establishing negotiating settings. And while you may think you have a tight grip on negotiating already due to a naturally insightful and analytical mind, there is a lot of psychology that goes into this type of work—and if you want to win for your client, it may involve much strategy too when dealing with an important case. A novice negotiator, or an overly confident one, may be content to settle for a generic setting; however, it...

Distance Learning in Law Requires Dedication & Discipline

distance learning

Law school is challenging no matter what campus or method of learning you choose. Famous for shaking students up, even if they were known to be the best in high school and college, law school can be rigorous for everyone. You may be shocked to find that those peers who seem to top you every time with classroom discussions, writing assignments, and more are struggling with their grades in the first year too. And no matter where you are, chances are you will be living and breathing the law. Some of your peers may embrace a work hard, play hard...

Distance learning has been growing in popularity for decades now; in fact, millions of students in the US today are taking at least one course online—often in tandem with conventional college courses too. And while standard campuses may eschew the online classroom and continue to sell students on the virtues of being at school in person, growing numbers of courses are offered virtually.

The Benefits of Study Groups for Law Students

Study groups

Whether you are attending a conventional law school or distance learning through a progressive institution like California Desert Trial Academy College of Law, studying is key, and study groups can be helpful; in fact, there can be so much detail to absorb on a constant basis that if you fall behind in your studying it could be impossible to catch up. The more disciplined you are, the better your outcome will be, and especially if you are participating in distance learning where you are more responsible for scheduling your time independently. This involves reading all your assignments on time, briefing...

Handwriting Classroom Notes Shown to Be More Effective

classroom notes

Most of us remember taking classroom notes as younger students, writing everything by hand. Slowly though, that has gone by the wayside with the advance of laptops and tablets—not to mention the ability to videotape classes when permitted. Pen and paper have been fast tracked by electronics, and in fact, many younger students may be hard-pressed to find a writing utensil (aside from a stylus) in their backpacks today. You may wonder if proper handwriting is going to become completely obsolete when you consider how rarely you find yourself putting pen to paper; however, in the classroom it may be...

Leave Your Electronic Devices Behind While Attending Class

The need to pay attention in class is something we are all made aware of from a young age, although electronic devices have changed the scope of what this means now sometimes. This can be especially difficult in the formative years as the hours wear on in the day and all we want to do is go home. Heading into college and graduate school, however, the need to be there is transformed for many into a want, and a burning desire to succeed—especially when students are paying for classes on their own. Getting the most out of class as an...

Upon the advent of the internet and an ‘online world’ that has just continued to grow, consumers around the world have embraced the idea of being able to do nearly everything more efficiently—from the paperless to the wireless to the concept of not having to leave their current surroundings to drive anywhere else, to include online education. Schooling has come about more slowly than some of the other popular cyber-activities such as shopping, or even dating, but of course the idea of getting up to the sound of an alarm clock and getting dressed and walking into a physical classroom...
