New Book 'Juris Types: Learning Law through Self-Understanding' Helps Law Students Find Effective Personal Learning Strategies
Gainesville, Florida (PRWEB) May 29, 2007 -- Law school is legendary for its three years of unrelenting stress. Now there's a book designed to help law students discover and develop personalized learning strategies to minimize that stress and maximize success.
Juris Types: Learning Law through Self-Understanding is a first-of-its-kind law school study guide. Most learning-strategy books provide generalized tips that work for some students but not others. In contrast, Juris Types provides a means for students to discover and understand their unique learning styles and then craft study strategies that utilize their strengths.
The means to better self-understanding and study strategies is the well-established personality theory of psychological type, familiar to millions of people who have taken the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® instrument. Juris Types begins with a clear, straightforward explanation of the concepts of type, addressing the different ways we take in and process information, organize our time and attention, and make decisions. The bulk of the book is dedicated to applying knowledge of type to study routines and exam-taking strategies.
Authors Martha Peters and Don Peters, law school professors and experts in psychological type, have tested pre-publication copies of Juris Types with law students and met with great success. Early champions of the book include Leary Davis, founding dean of the Elon University School of Law, an innovative law school in Greensboro, NC, where Juris Types has been made "a central component of our law school's orientation and executive coaching programs." Davis, one of the preeminent law educators in the nation, calls the book, "a much-needed guide to knowledge of self and others and professional development for law students and lawyers."
Juris Types: Learning Law through Self-Understanding is available from its publisher, the Center for Applications of Psychological Type (CAPT®) and selected online and retail bookstores.
