This is no doubt the age of the computer.  For the non-traditional law student this can be a great benefit.  One thing I would suggest doing is signing up for email alerts or RSS feeds from your state’s legislature.  Here is the link for Michigan’s legislative RSS feed.  I find it very useful to see how the concepts and legal issues I am currently studying are applied and proposed in real-life situations.  A great news reader (in my opinion) is RSS Owl.

You may also want to subscribe to some of the blogroll links on this website.  There is a wealth of information out there just waiting to be tapped into.  I have also signed up to receive email alerts whenever my district representative votes on an issue.  A good lawyer needs to be aware of what is happening in the legislature of his or her state and keep abreast of laws that may affect clients.  While we are not lawyers yet, it is good to get into the practice of keeping informed.  Many of these services are free as well.  God Bless and have a great day.
