Re: Should I listen to music when I'm studying?

It depends on the person

There is no right or wrong answer, it depends on you. When I was in law school, listening to music actually helped me remember certain rules of law, I'd use the song as a memory device. However, if I was listening to my favorite band, I'd get distracted, so I had to find a good balance. For me, when studying, if it's too quiet, I get easily distracted and antsy.

The trick in law school is not to find completely NEW study habits - it's to capitalize on and rework what has worked for you in the past. Everyone learns in a different way, so no one can tell you ONE "right" way to study. This is similar to study aids - what might work for one person, doesn't work for everyone.

Good Luck!
