With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, I realize most of what I blew in law school was to fail to memorize case names. I would explain the principles involved and get them right, but be graded points off if I did not remember the case name.





Try putting the case names on 3 x 5 cards, with a short summary of the principle illustrated on the other side, and just flash card yourself. Both sides: have someone show you the name and you give them the principle, then have them show you the principles, and you give them the name of the pivotal case. Memorization is unfortunately necessary in law school.Any advice on how to remember cases in Contract law easily?
Have you tried writing a case brief for each one? Sometimes if you read a case and then right the important facts down right after reading it it will become easier for you to remember everything. Plus, writing briefs will keep you organized and allow you to quickly access your information. Are you a law student? If you are, you should be pretty familiar with writing briefs. If not, a general brief looks like this.





Court Citation


Relevant Information/Background


Legal Issue at Stake


Decision


How Decision was Arrived At


Impact of Decision





Briefs are usually 1-2 pages. Good luck!
I used to try to cram case names by: (1) shortening the name to just one or two words, (2) trying to come up with a word that starts with the same initial as the case-name that is also tied to the facts or the holding -- enough to help me remember ';what happened';, then (3) line up the initials in the order that the cases occurred chronologically, and (4) come up with some phrase that would help me remember that sequence of initials. If you cram that before the exam, you'll have the whole progress of cases, their names, holdings, and relation to one another. If it helps, you might break down each group of cases by general subject matter first (i.e., those related to contract formation, then those related to excuses for non-performance, and so on). That gives you a few, shorter phrases to remember as keys to the case-lists.





If you think that's fun, you are going to freakin' love the bar exam!
