Law, just the word itself can sound daunting, right? Back when I was a student, exam season for law subjects felt like being “a fish out of water.” Sitting buried under hundreds of articles and regulations, I’d learn something new only to forget something old. But, as the saying goes, “persistence wears away a stone,” and after a lot of hard work, I finally discovered some effective “secrets” to learning law. And today, I’m going to share all of them with you. Similar to how to memorize multiplication tables, learning law also requires the right approach.
Learning Law Isn’t Hard If You Know How
Many people think learning law means “plowing” like an ox, memorizing every word verbatim. This isn’t wrong, but it’s not enough. Like Professor Nguyen Van A, a leading legal expert in Vietnam, once said: “Learning law isn’t just about memorization, it’s about understanding.” So how can you both memorize quickly and understand deeply?
Understand the Core, Don’t Just Rote Learn
Imagine the legal system as a tree. Articles and regulations are the branches and leaves, while fundamental principles and core values are the trunk and roots. You need to grasp the “roots” first, then move on to the “branches and leaves.” For example, when studying criminal law, instead of just memorizing the names of crimes and punishments, try to understand why those actions are considered crimes, and what the purpose of punishment is.
Mind Maps, Your “Treasure Map”
Mind maps are a useful tool to help you systemize knowledge logically and visually. Start with a main topic, then branch out to related aspects. You can use colors and images to make the mind map more lively and memorable. This is similar to how to study theoretical mechanics effectively when you need to organize complex knowledge.
Connect to Real Life, the “Key” to Unlocking Knowledge
Law isn’t something dry and distant; it’s closely linked to daily life. Try to connect what you learn with real-life situations and typical cases. For example, when learning traffic law, you can relate it to situations you encounter on the road.
Other “Secrets” for Quick Memorization
In addition to the methods above, there are some small “secrets” I want to share with you:
- Group discussions: “Learning from a teacher is good, learning from friends is better.” Group discussions will help you understand the lesson more deeply and remember it longer.
- Regular practice: “Practice makes perfect.” Do exercises and solve case studies to reinforce your knowledge.
- Rest properly: “Work with time, rest with schedule.” Don’t forget to let your brain rest to absorb knowledge better. Just like learning the Japanese way of life, balance between studying and resting is very important.
Professor Pham Thi B, a lecturer at Hanoi Law University, in her book “Secrets to Conquering Law,” also emphasizes the importance of regular review and practice. To understand more about how to quickly memorize when learning tax law, you can refer to this article.
Conclusion
Learning law is not a bed of roses, but if you have the right methods, persistence, and effort, success will definitely come. Remember, “constant dripping wears away the stone.” Hopefully, the above sharing will help you feel more confident on your journey to conquer the law.
