A Glossary of Legal Materials
There is no way around this part of the manual.
There are no short cuts. You must know these materials. But
here are a couple of hints:
- Read the descriptions all the way through
without taking notes.
- Go back to the beginning and study this time,
taking notes.
- After you have reviewed this material, review the visually-based Glossary Guide in Chapter 7.3 .
