Tabs are an amazing invention. They point you in the right direction and they soothe the seemingly unassailable stress experienced by law students across the nation. If you see a law student bent over his or her book and a stack of multi-colored tabs, know that this is a form of therapy of sorts. When no other avenues of study are available, law students often taking to "tabbing" their books for open-book exams. Today, I came to such a spot in my studying for Texas Civil Procedure and thus, tabbed "DISC" (discovery), "PLEN PWR" (plenary power), "AMEND PLDG" (pleading amendments), and the like. At the very least, it required me to read through the rules, yet again, and note important exceptions, requirements, and burden shifts. There is one risk with tabbing, however: over-tabbing, to the point when the tabs simply are overwhelming rather than helpful. Here's to hoping I didn't over-tab this time around.
