The Law School Mastery Method is a detailed strategy that explains the exact methods you can use to excel in law school. Learning the method at a live three day seminar, normally held several times a year during each semester, is an excellent interactive way to learn the skills in a short amount of time, and begin using them immediately. Also, at a weekend seminar you get special attention to your own personal questions and needs that will help you immensely.

The Three Parts of the Law School
Mastery Method Seminar

Part I. Law School Survival Tactics/NLP For The Law Student – Learn the ins and outs of the law school experience, exploring a ton of real life situations and insights on how law school will impact all areas of your life (for better or worse), and how to best meet those challenges. In addition, the seminar covers building a good self image, how to handle stress, master fear, develop good organizational skills, deal with scheduling problems and procrastination, and design states of mind conducive to productive study.

Part II. Memory, Outlining, and Legal Thinking Dynamics Skills – Teaches you the best methods for memorizing and absorbing all the information you will need, and organizing useful course outlines. The seminar covers the traditional outlining method, then expands and improves upon it, and also teaches an incredible method called Legal Thinking Dynamics, helping you quickly outline material for swift recall, assimilation, and association. This method is simply the best way to learn large amounts of information, recognize how it all fits together, AND apply it smartly– skills necessary to do well in law school and beyond.

Part III. Law School Exam Strategies – Covers the specifics on structuring a law school exam essay answer. The seminar goes into detail on what to include and what not to include, the 4 core elements that must be part of every ‘cause of action’ you explore in your exam, but also the related side-issues and concepts that separate your exam from the “average” pile to the “great” pile. The seminar also covers other methods that are commonly taught in the cognitive and mind sciences, and apply them to the law school exam!
