It’s too simple and intuitive, but let me know if you have specific questions after you look at OneNote’s “introduction/tour” under the help menu.

The non-intuitive trick that I learned is to create a shortcut for the statute section symbol, (‡ or § )…what you do is go into the auto-correct options and pick something that you normally don’t type together, like “ww” and have it auto-replace that with §, so you can quickly type the § symbol while taking notes.

So then 42 USCA ww 1983 will show up as 42 USCA § 1983.

Good idea! I also bring gum and antibacterial lotion for peers who need freshness support.

Kleenex was a very thoughtful response. I’ll admit I’ve come to class that miserably sick before, but I relocated myself to the back row to avoid getting written up in somebody’s blog.

Article idea: law school emergency survival kit. Includes: Mini pack of Kleenex, DayQuil gelcaps, pencils and paper to share with students who forget that Professor X doesn’t allow laptops… These are small items that will make your classmates love you, and will ensure your own class time is less interrupted.

Thanks for the advice. I am a super organized individual and these were excellent suggestions.

Never heard of these mac things… I’m a proud windows boy! But it sounds intense. My blackberry auto-syncs to Windows Calendar and Facebook. Love it!

And if you get free printing at school I wouldn’t bother getting a printer. Seems like a money suck!

Booze is definitely not against the rules at UMN. No one got embarrassing THIS time.

I hated oneNote until I went to law school. It has saved me so many times, AND when I need to reference something that I learned in a class from 1L in my say fourth semester I can find it in a flash.
