Thanks for the comment, Photoread4me. I don't think I can ask less questions, however, because it seems like less questions means less comprehension. If you've ever been through a law school class, you know that you don't get tested or asked about general knowledge; it's the specifics that count, and you have to know them. For example, tonight in class, the professor asked me about the material I had studied,
"Suppose an inmate, convicted of capital murder, files a writ of Habeas Corpus with the federal district court where he committed the crime. This court is in a different district than the federal prision in which the inmate is housed. He alleges fourth amendment violations and insufficiency of counsel at the trial level. He filed a similar petition with the appropriate state court, and was denied. Discuss." This question mplicated several of the questions I had formulated below.
My purpose throughout activation was (generally) to understand the concept of Habeas Corpus, particularly the procedural and substantive requirements. This would help me to discuss it in class and apply it when I begin to practice law.
Essentially, I am looking for a very, very high percentage of reading comprehension. I do not know any other way to obtain this while reading this dense material. If I don't ask a lot of questions, (1) I get bored 
; but (2) it seems like spontaneous activation is the only other way to get the material that I need. I am open to suggestions, however, and am always looking to improve my study habits...maybe I'm missing something fundamental in my PR process...
