RIGOS BAR REVIEW Magic Memory Outlines®

Our topical Magic Memory Outlines® are software templates on CD-ROM which students use to create their own personal outlines of the subjects. You summarize and synthesize the textual material in your own words. This forces you to capture the essence of the text and transfers the information from the book to your mind. For students who have prepared outlines to condense vast amounts of material in law school, these templates are similar and extremely effective. You can make outlines as elaborate and comprehensive as you wish since, in a word processing file, you can enlarge the space provided for your own notes. An example follows.
