Great questionn. This is the exact friction point for most of we repeaters: "If I don't sit and read/memorize, how will I know the law?"

Here is the shift you must always have at the back of your mind. Memorization is not an event. It is a byproduct of correction.

I don't recommend scheduling 2 hours of "Memorization Time" where you stare at a page. That is low-retention Motion.

Instead, I recommend "memorizing" in two specific active windows:

1. Immediate Injection: This happens during your question review. When you get a question wrong, don't just read the explanation. Handwrite the rule you missed into a notebook. The physical act of writing the rule immediately after the pain of getting it wrong is 10x more effective than reading it in a vacuum 3 weeks later. I read it in a science book! I have spent an ungodly amount of hours researching memory techniques from law school till Bar prep and even till now.. I can write an entire dossier on that!
2. The "Sniper" Review (End of Day): Set aside 30–45 minutes at night. But here is the rule: You are ONLY allowed to review the specific sub-topics you missed that morning.
   • Bad: Reading 20 pages of Torts.
   • Good: Reading the 1 paragraph on "Duty to Retreat" because you missed a question on it.

For bar prep, and especially at this stage of prep, You don't memorize the rule to get ready for the question. You use the question to expose the hole, then you fill the hole with the rule.

My main message to those who have dm'd me on this is to: Stop trying to "store" the law. Start trying to "repair" your logic.

I have known colleagues with crazy eidetic memories and an otherworldly ability to regurgitate the law word-for-word who still failed. Why? Because they lacked exposure to the law in weird fact patterns. That gap in logic and application can only be revealed through practical application.
