Ryan McCarl's book Elegant Legal Writing is now available on Amazon! Buy a copy at bit.ly/elw-book and follow his blog at elegantlegalwriting.com.
These strategies include:

- Creating your own outline for each subject from scratch
- Populating your homemade outline with rules gleaned from answer explanations for practice questions you didn’t understand
- Creating your own audio resources using Speechify or another text-to-speech app
- Listening to lectures from YouTube, the Sum and Substance series, or other sources while you run, drive, or do the dishes
- Working with a bar tutor or study partner
