Self-study
I am reading the Economist to study for law school, as someone here or on reddit had mentioned it as a good way to learn how to write in law school. I am wondering if it is also good for reading comprehension. If so, does anyone have any tips for how to study using The Economist?
For example, I am currently thinking of reading an article, then summarizing the main points of the article and the conclusion, and as an extra step, try to state my own opinion on the article. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. TIA

I'm a big fan of the Economist in general and as an LSAT study tool. You're on the right track in terms of process, as well.
I'd recommend making low-res summaries / structural maps of the articles you read. Their arguments tend to be structurally complex but also very clearly expressed, so it's good practice for building large mental (and written!) models for long-form arguments.
