law school: burning questions

It’s just a little over 3 months until law school starts and I feel clueless. I have some books that are supposed to help prepare me, but I haven’t started reading them yet. Here are some of the questions that simply must be answered in time for me to start school:

1. For which classes will I need supplements? All of them?
2. Will the professors let us know which supplements to use, or is it a matter of personal preference?
3. If it’s personal preference, which ones are the best for each class?
4. How in the world do you brief a case?
5. Is there any special trick to outlining? Should I start it right away or wait until about the middle of the semester to start?
6. Should I splurge on a Mac? (vote yes)
7. What software should I use for note-taking?
8. Is it inevitable that I’ll have an 8:00 class?????

Help!
