Giving in...

So today was Torts. Excellent class with an excellent professor. However, even though I had read the cases thoroughly, briefed them and answered his proposed questions, I am still struggling. I finally had to give in and turn to Study Aids. If any of you have read 1L by Scott Turow, you will know that Study Aids were like illegal drugs in those times. Now, professors think they are an excellent source to reference. (Not a supplement to your case readings though) Even some professors actually recommend certain Study Aids to compliment their class.

I still, as a traditionalist, didn't want to use study aids. But I finally had to give in. I went to the reference desk in the library and whispered to them "could I have a Torts study aid." It felt so illegal especially when the reference desk clerk got "excited" like this was some rare thrill. Anyway, as I mentioned it isnt illegal, its not looked down on and many people in my classes use them. They definitely helped me clear up specific topics within last nights readings. Regardless, I still don't believe I am going to buy them, but I definitely see myself frequently checking them out of the library.
