# The law student week

URL: https://gocutline.com/templates/law-student-week/

A weekly schedule for law students: case reading each morning from 08:00, classes after that, an outline block on Fridays and a practice problem on Saturday.

## Why it works
- **Reading before class** makes class worth attending.
- **Weekly outlines** rather than one panic in the last week.
- **Practice problems early:** law exams test how you apply it, not what you remember.

## Make it yours
- Moot court or a clinic? Take it from the Saturday block.
- Clerking soon? Add an application block with [this playbook](https://gocutline.com/playbooks/write-applications/).

## Questions

**When should law students start outlining?**
In the first weeks. Updating it weekly takes far less time than building it all at the end.
