Noah's 1L Docket

Real 1L students don't finish Contracts, then start Property — they carry five or six subjects at once, one class period at a time. This docket copies that structure: each subject gets one fixed weekday and a steady weekly page target sized to its own outline, so Noah is never staring at 282 pages of Property wondering where to start. Property and Torts are the two long poles — they run the full 32-week first pass. Contracts and Criminal Law are shorter and finish first, at which point their weekday quietly converts from new reading to drilling what's already been read, so nothing goes stale before finals.

The Six PhasesWhat each box at the top actually means

Weekly RhythmHow the six days split up

Day	Subject	Weeks 3–34 (first pass)	After its first pass ends

Sunday is deliberately unassigned to new material — it's for the self-quiz, personal-outline upkeep, and rest described below. Weeks 1–2 run this same weekday rotation, but lighter: each subject's tab opens with two Quickline sessions instead of full outline pages — see the top of each subject's table. Weeks 35–50 shift the whole week to integration, drilling, and mock exams — see the phase strip above.

Daily LoopWhat one weekday session actually looks like

Read the assigned pages actively.Outline open, pen moving — mark every black-letter rule and every element of a test. 45–75 min depending on density.
Brief one marquee case from that topic.Use Quimbee's case briefs for a leading case the outline cites. This is also his Legal Research & Writing practice — see that tab.
Watch the video lesson only if the rule didn't stick.Quimbee's course videos exist for exactly the topics that read like alphabet soup the first time — the Rule Against Perpetuities, personal jurisdiction, the Erie doctrine, First Amendment tiers of scrutiny.
Run 8–10 multiple-choice questions on the topic.Immediate comprehension check, not a big commitment — 10–15 minutes.
Write a 3–5 sentence rule summary in his own words.This becomes the seed of his personal outline and is the single highest-value step for retention.

MilestonesWhat "on track" looks like

The One Course Without An OutlineLegal Research & Writing

Quimbee doesn't publish an LRW outline — it isn't really an outline-able subject; it's a set of skills (reading a case for what it actually holds, citing it correctly, structuring an IRAC/CREAC analysis) practiced by doing them, not by memorizing rules. So instead of a page-count pace, LRW rides shotgun on the other five subjects all year, plus one dedicated intensive block once the first full pass of doctrine is done.

Free scaffolding, not a substitute. His actual school will hand him a citation manual and an LRW textbook in year one — this is just enough structure to not show up cold. Cornell's Legal Information Institute (law.cornell.edu) has the full text of rules and cases for free; Cornell also publishes Peter Martin's free Introduction to Basic Legal Citation, which covers 90% of Bluebook basics. Google Scholar's "Case law" search and CourtListener.com are both free case-law databases worth learning now, since he won't have Westlaw/Lexis access until he's enrolled.

ToolkitWhat each part of Quimbee is actually for

Tool	Role in this docket	Cadence
Outlines	The spine of every session — the six documents this whole schedule is paced against.	Daily, on the assigned weekday
Case Briefs	1–2 per topic, for the cases the outline actually names. Doubles as Legal Writing practice.	Daily / weekly
Courses (video)	Reach for these on the handful of topics that don't click from text alone (RAP, personal jurisdiction, Erie, 1st Amendment scrutiny tiers).	As needed
Multiple-Choice Questions	Fast comprehension check right after reading — catches a misread rule before it calcifies.	Daily, 10–15 min
Flashcards	Black-letter rule memorization. Light use during first pass, the main event during Phase 4.	Ramps up from Week 35
Essay Practice Exams	Full issue-spotting practice under the real fact-pattern format.	Monthly from Week 8; weekly during Phase 5
Key Terms	Quick glossary lookups when a term of art shows up undefined mid-outline.	As needed

Access matters more than the schedule does. The free preview caps out fast — the page-flip viewer only shows a couple of spreads before it's clearly built to sell the full PDF ($29 per outline, ~$174 for all six) or a subscription, and the trial banner allows just a handful of case briefs. This whole plan assumes Noah can actually open every page of all six outlines and use the question banks for a full year, so getting him proper access — a subscription, or at minimum the six outline PDFs — is worth doing before Week 1, not something to postpone.
