Study aids are geared to help students understand specific areas of law or put what they have learned to use in preparation for a course exam. These resources can supplement class texts, lectures and course materials.
More in-depth study aids may provide thorough explanations of the main issues of an area of law. There are also guides that do the same in a more concise outline format. And still others that quiz the student's knowledge of the key concepts covered in a course.
The ABA Guide to Using Study Aids points out the value of using them throughout the school year.
