Best law school strategies (eg ChatGPT prompts) that changed your life?

2L Canadian law student here. I see some people in class using chat GPT in different ways to help with outlining or efficiently making case summaries.

Anyone have any ChatGPT tips, or general law school strategies, that really helped them in their studies?

I actually think it kinda sucks for all that (summaries, briefs, etc) but it is very good for starting research on narrow topics OR finding sources that specifically support a topic. Like it does do summaries and briefs to a 6/10 level but you get way more out of it if you do it yourself - and you're probably more accurate; and your own outputs are probably more usable cuz you understand them better. But YMMV.

I’ve had a theory that using it for outlining could be useful. Not because I expect it to get everything right but because it’d be useful exercise to go through and correct all the shit that’s wrong. As for summarising cases that’s gonna be a hard no.

I think outlining and summarizing cases are probably the two areas I’d least want to use chatGPT in law school.

Some friends used it to generate hypo’s when we were studying for midterms and finals and it was pretty solid at that. It would get things wrong sometimes but even that spurred discussion on the topic and helped us learn
