Hi Ali: Being a law student, I can totally identify with your concerns. While I don't have any satisfactory responses, I guess one good remedy in this case could be altering the 'say all' settings in such a way as to ensure that JAWS pauses after whatever interval you deem fit. Also, can you let me know what voice you are using to make it sound more human? One problem which I sometimes face is that I am unable to recollect what I have read after reading long chunks of text at one go.
