Break Things Down
Instead of focusing on the end goal, break things down into smaller pieces. Your goal may be to become the best trial lawyer possible, but if you get too wrapped up in the big picture, it can become overwhelming and hamper your ability to learn effectively.
The Classroom Portion
While having real-world experience is a must, it’s best to start with your own research. Jack talks about how he listens to CLEs while working out and how education connected with a physical activity can be very beneficial. This is also a great time to begin to work through how you would use this knowledge in the real world. Either by rehearsing it with yourself or with a mentor.
Real World Rehearsal
This is a great time to begin to work through how you would use this knowledge in the real world. Either by rehearsing it with yourself or with a mentor. This can also be a great time to watch someone else do it and reflect upon the differences between the two.
Tweak the Process
Now is the time to review everything you’ve learned, seen and worked on and make it your own. Never be afraid to adjust as new information becomes available and be flexible to stay on top.
