As a law student, you might try practicing listening to short broadcast pieces on the Voice of America or Marketplace, my favorite public ratio program, and mentally take notes. Then, when the broadcast - or podcast - is over, try to summarize the 2-3 minute report to two sentences. By dramatically reducing the information to a few sentences, you have to edit out many details and focus on the main idea. That's the essential skill required for effective paraphrasing while listening to lectures - or questioning witnesses. As a future lawyer, you will use paraphrasing in many parts of your future career. Paraphrasing is a difficult skill, but it becomes easier with practice.
