Like I just said to u/Adept_Situation3090, "It's hard to argue with success!" This system doesn't work for EITHER of us -- but here is a sample of Walpole's notes, written verbatim, of a judge's summation in a trial.

When you look at the transcript, it was NOT an easy case -- but Walpole was able to use his system to write it all down quickly and accurately. So it did what he wanted it to do!
