Law demands exact definitions, tests and hierarchies. Lumi quizzes you so you can recite them without hesitating, which frees your head for the reasoning.

How to turn this subject into cards

Make one note per concept, with the definition, its elements, its effects and an example case or provision. Quiz yourself on the list of elements, because that is where one gets forgotten. The trap is knowing the general idea but being unable to state the rule precisely. Lumi helps you retain definitions, tests, hierarchies and principles.
