Law School Tip - Study Your Prof
Unfortunately, the grading structure currently being used today at the majority of law schools has put an end to the traditions of  sleeping up to number one (not that you would even try). Its important to know and understand you teachers' interests. In law school, "you aren't just making 'contracts,' " says Chris Weasner, a University of Duke professor and the author of The Seven Tips of Great Performance in Law School. "You are taking 'contracts from Professor Y.' " Therefore its crucial to determine what intrigues your professor's mental appeal and pursue it. Has your professor published articles about the economic predictions of allocation? Is he interested in patent law and engineering design documentation? What kind of lawyer is your prof really? You must not only see him as a professor, but as an attorney in practice. Look for clues to your professor's in past exams, and also lectures and talks.
