They are more or less designed to attempt to give you the illusion that you can actually be in full control your first year of law school and pull it off gracefully.e.g. synchronized highlighting (dont forget agua blue is for dicta)! Accepting the basic law school facts that there are simply things in law school you will not be able to control and will not be "fair" despite how hard you work, how smart you are, or what your LSAT score was actually makes Law School alot more pleasant.

True story: I checked out my first book from the BLB Library the week before graduation.
