Today, I venture to call my discovery of sorts in the study of law as the "Spine Technique." (Try googling it, there's no such term yet, I think, relative to the study of law. But I believe it's not a novel technique; I just got it a new name.)
Spine is based on the belief that there is a general principle of law behind every provision or enumerated instances in rules, regulations and procedures. It's easier to understand and recall legal provisions if they are viewed as stemming out from a common branch or spine. Of course it's best if you can recall verbatim pertinent provisions. But the study and application of law is supposed to be a fulfilling and meaningful discipline, neither mechanical nor unnecessarily complex.
If you have time, always try to look for the Spine in every legal detail. It'll break the sometimes monotonous and cumbersome process of legal preparation and bring you closer to the essence of becoming a lawyer.
May elaborate on Spine if I have more time.
