When it comes to organizing information, the "Note Card System" can be very useful. By using this system, you create note cards from blank 3x5 or 5x7 index cards that you fill with information pertinent to the subject that you are researching.

How to Create a Note Card:

In the upper left corner, place the issue or concept; or bluebook citation.

In the body of the card, enter one single fact or thought you'd like to include in your paper.

Make sure the information is expressed in your own words, unless it is a quotation. 

Use good sentence structure: this will save you time when you start to write the paper.

Organize the cards to coincide with the outline of your paper. 

Once your cards are in the proper order, you can write the term paper following their sequence. Use topical, concluding, and transitional sentences to link the information on the cards together! 

Use PRE-IRAC-C to organize the information and your analysis

Keep a separate set of cards with the complete information of cases, books, magazines, films, etc. 

For proper citations, refer to the  Bluebook.

Remember: you can follow the same process in word processing!  

Create a series of pages or files as your "notecards".

Organize the information by cutting, pasting, and sequencing.

Edit as usual in word processing.
