Memory is one of the most requested when making law school skills.
The law student is called upon to "swallow" a lot of data throughout its course: legal principles, articles, case law, notices, dates, etc ...
Some law students have a better memory than others and assimilate the information much faster.
If you're not one of those people, good news know that memory, such as concentration improves so much less laborious than we can imagine.
Here are some tips to improve your memory.
Do not push your brain to the end , the bully does not make you more productive. It is preferable, for example, if you learn a law course bonds of about 70 pages, to learn for a long time to be booking a few minutes daily (30 min).
You will eventually spend a lot less time than if you do it only for 3 or 4 days non-stop for the short-term memory saturates quickly.
Conversely, learning your course in installments, this is your long-term memory which will be sought. This will allow you to keep the information much longer.
The brain is a machine, but an intelligent machine.
By learning your course, try to make representations. Try to image the words you imagine situations .
For example: If you find a law or jurisprudence, try to put yourself in the shoes of the person to whom it applies. How would you react? How would you feel?

Do not learn in a linear fashion and discipline your courses.
Make connections with the knowledge that you already have.
All connections are good to do as they are logical, even if you establish connections with ideas that have no direct relation to the right.
The idea is really to create a conductive path between a dataset.
Memory and forgetting are two inseparable elements.
If oblivion is frowned upon, yet he can consolidate our memory. By forgetting the brain gets rid of unnecessary information which it considers (often information which we did not come for a while).
So remember to help your brain by writing the information that you do not want to lose but you are not especially useful in everyday life (books to read, task etc..).
So it gives good results, the brain needs to be well fed. Here is a list of foods or vitamins good for memory:
- The sugars
- Vitamin C and vitamin B
- Legumes (lentils, beans etc.).
- Whole grains (rich in vitamin B1)
- Fruits and vegetables (rich in vitamin B9)
- Fish, eggs and dairy products (rich in B12)
- Magnesium
Logical, yet overlooked, sleep is the cornerstone of working memory. So if you want to sleep well, ventilate your room before sleeping and make sure that the room temperature is 15 degrees.
