It is important to develop good time management skills early in your law school career --- and there is no better time to do so than at the very beginning. The first few weeks of law school can seem overwhelming as you learn to balance all the competing demands on your time. A calendar can help you manage these demands by letting you schedule day-to-day tasks and plan for long-term assignments and exams.
You can use Touro’s Law School Planner from your orientation materials to help you navigate these first few weeks of law school. The Planner is meant to be a guide --- one which you can and should adapt to your own study needs. Since you are new to law school, we have made some suggestions and identified some specific tasks and suggested time allocations. The time frames are meant to be general guidelines only and it is very likely that your individual needs will vary. However, by keeping track of how long it takes you to complete an assignment, you will gain a better understanding of how much time to allocate to different study activities.
The Law School Planner covers several weeks: the week before Orientation, the week of Orientation, and the first full week of class. Please pay attention to the page headings, especially with respect to the first week of class and select the calendar for your particular class section. There are three day sections and one evening section. There is also a blank planner for you to make your own schedule.
We believe the Planner will be helpful as you begin your law school career. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to stop by and see us in Room 314. We are here to assist you.
