Guide

How to use a law school planner

Law school runs on reading: dozens of cases a week, each briefed before class and folded into an outline before exams. A law school planner keeps the reading schedule, the briefs and the outlines connected.
  1. Load every syllabus

    Copy each course's reading assignments into the reading and outline tracker, and exam dates into the exam planner.

  2. Brief before class

    Each case brief page follows IRAC: facts, issue, rule, holding, reasoning, plus notes for class. Keep briefs short; they're for you.

  3. Tick briefed, outlined, reviewed

    The tracker shows at a glance which readings have been briefed and which have made it into your outline.

  4. Start outlines early

    Many students start outlining a few weeks into the semester. Block a weekly outlining session on the study planner.

  5. Use Cornell notes in class

    Write notes on the right, questions on the left, and a summary at the bottom, which doubles as outline material.

What to include in a law school planner

A law school planner needs briefs, a reading tracker and the usual school pages. This one includes:

Calendar

Daily, weekly and monthly pages

School-year pages from August with a page for every day: an hourly schedule, a classes-and-homework table with your courses, a due-soon list and notes.

Law

Law School

40 IRAC case brief pages, four reading and outline trackers and 12 Cornell notes pages.

  • Case Brief (IRAC) · 40 pages
  • Reading & Outline Tracker · 4 pages
  • Cornell Notes · 12 pages
School

Class schedules, semester overviews, assignment trackers, exam planners and a grade tracker.

  • Class Schedule · 2 pages
  • Semester Overview · 2 pages
  • Assignment Tracker · every month
  • Exam Planner · 2 pages
  • Grade Tracker · 2 pages
Study

Study

A weekly study planner by course, focus sessions and reading notes pages.

  • Study Planner · every week
  • Focus Sessions · 12 pages
  • Lecture / Reading Notes · 30 pages

Every section can be switched off in the builder, and sections from other planners can be added.

Digital vs printable law school planner

A digital law school planner sits next to your casebook PDFs and outlines on a tablet, and the IRAC pages are quick to duplicate when you need more.

If you brief by hand from a paper casebook, print the brief pages on A5 or Letter and keep them in a binder per course. E-ink tablets are good for long reading sessions.

An example week in a law school planner

One goal, followed through a single week. The milestone and weekly actions are the kind of lines the AI goal step writes onto your month and week pages; the daily notes are what you add by hand.

Goal

Milestone for September

All readings briefed for the first month

This week's actions

Questions

Law school planner questions

What is IRAC?

Issue, Rule, Application (or Analysis), Conclusion: a common way to structure legal reasoning. The case brief pages follow it, with extra boxes for the facts and notes for class.

Can I change the courses?

Yes. The default courses are common 1L subjects. Type your own in the builder and they're printed on the daily pages, grade tracker and study planner.

Is there a free law school planner?

You can build this law school planner and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $12 once, or included in Pro at $49 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.

Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?

Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.

Can I print the law school planner?

Yes. Choose A5, A4, US Letter or Half Letter in the builder for a printable PDF with a wider inner margin for hole punching. Printable and digital sizes come with the same purchase, so you can use the law school planner on a tablet and print the pages you want on paper.

When does the 2026–2027 law school planner start?

It starts in August and runs to July by default. In the builder you can choose any start month and year, including this month so you don't pay for pages that are already past, and a 12 or 18-month length. Switch to undated if you'd rather write the dates yourself.

Does the AI fill in the law school planner for me?

Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.

How many pages is the law school planner?

With the default settings it comes to about 626 pages. That includes 12 month pages, 53 weekly pages, 365 daily pages, the Law School, School and Study pages and 20 notes pages. Switching off daily pages or sections makes it shorter, and the builder shows the total as you change things.

Make it yours in about a minute.

Set your dates, device and goals, flip through the preview free, and pay only when it's right.
