Case Briefing Notebooks

The most important part of reading your case books is the ability to extract the facts in story and understand the analysis the court rendered. The analysis must translate into a simple explanation to the rules of law. 

Reviewing and using canned case briefs are just not as effective in terms of knowing the law for the long haul. Fact patterns you encounter later will look familiar because remembering the law and concepts becomes evident when you recall the story facts in seminole cases you read in your case books.
