Reading Comprehension

Strong reading comprehension skills are essential to success in law school and on the bar exam. The vast majority of your class preparation will consist of reading and briefing court cases. You'll find that some of these cases are written in very archaic language, and even those that aren't can be quite dense.  Learning to read court opinions involves learning a whole new language.  These materials discuss those skills and steps you can take to improve your reading comprehension and improve your classroom performance.
