One semester of law school done

I just finished my first semester of law school Tuesday evening...only eight more to go! People say that the first year of law school is the worst, and I certainly hope that's true.

I don't think I've ever had so much information dumped into my brain in such a short period of time. In my Liberty, Equality and Due Process (LEDP) class about the Fourteenth Amendment, I took 109 pages of notes, and for Criminal Law, 54 pages.

As a very very condensed version of what I learned, here are the study guides I made for both classes:

I cannot yet vouch for the accuracy contained on those guides yet as I haven't gotten my grades back yet, but I think they're mostly correct!

Next semester is contracts, which'll probably be immediately practically useful, and legal research, which I'm really looking forward to. I now have access to Westlaw, which is both amazing in how rich the content and interface is...and terrible how it's all locked in a commercial, private database.
