Thanks. Good point. I tend to read something and only understand it a bit. Later on, when my mind wanders, I'll run through it again and really get it. Problem

Thanks. Good point. I tend to read something and only understand it a bit. Later on, when my mind wanders, I'll run through it again and really get it. Problem is, I'm going to law school soon so I need to improve my ability to read quickly and understand pretty well. I was wondering if a book like this would help me in that way, but it seems like it would only be marginally useful. Oh well.

I actually think speed reading techniques should be pretty effective for law school. The big trouble is imagining the scenes and trying to feel what all the characters are feeling. AFAIK, law books are just lists of facts. The way I get around that kind of learning process is to prepare the information in multiple formats (flash cards, the textbook, my notes, somebody else's notes) and scan each one quickly. I'll have to defer to the opinion of people less allergic to the legal system on this one.
