Legal Education Books

This is a huge book, worthwhile and seems complete. I also have the Your MBA Game Plan: Proven Strategies for Getting into the Top Business Schools, and this book is ten times the size. I have yet to read the whole thing and probably will never;...

I just think this book's title is misleading to someone who has already decided to get an MBA, researched schools, and selected the top schools to which apply. I was looking for something that was going to help me AFTER all these events have taken...

This book is a good introduction for those who are deciding whether they need an MBA. If you are more or less certain about your goals, type of MBA program you need, etc. - I would not recommend this one. After reading most of the chapters I...

Reading this book took a huge weight off my shoulders before law school. This book is a crash course not only in how to succeed in law school, but also how to think about the law as a whole. The lessons learned here are designed to frame your...

This is full of common sense info. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't buy this book.

Reading this book before school started had the benefit of getting me thinking about law and legal analysis. But it had no impact on my grades (I'm at or near the top of my class in all subjects and top overall). More importantly, it SHOULDN'T...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! Anna Ivey, former Dean of Admissions at The University of Chicago Law School, provides an insiders guide filled with practical advice for any aspiring law student. It's not too often you will come across a...

This book is not good. There are much better books that explain what is included in the book. I would only advise buying this book if you need help in writing a request for a recommendation letter because that is the only informative section in...

This book does an excellent job at laying out the default rules and explaining them in an organized manner. What is even better about the book is its use of charts to demonstrate the differences between the various default statutes. This book...

This is an easy, informative read. Whether it will help me in law school remains to be seen as I have not started yet. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting better knowledge of legal terms whether they are a student or not. Also, the...

As a first year law student with no idea what to expect, this book was extremely helpful. I purchased it the summer before my first semester, and imagine how excited I was when my legal writing teacher recommended this book over all law school...

I read this before starting law school and was impressed by its guide to academic success. Unfortunately, after starting law school, reality set in and the book's weak points became very clear; namely, the lack of any discussion of using computers...

I just finished my first year at a top ten law school. I didn't read this book or The Law School Companion in full before school started, but I read through parts of it during the year and over winter break. Overall it does help with giving you...

Contrary to what another reviewer said, this book doesn't have two full-length exams, or at least not the edition I have (2005). It has the AM and PM sections of a full-length exam.

Other reviews also mention the tips in this book,...

"How to Get into Law School" is perfect for anyone in law school, applying to law school, or thinking about maybe applying to law school. I first read this book three years ago, and at that time I was thinking about maybe applying to law school....

Whether this book will actually help you get into the law school of your choice is debatable. First of all, the advice is geared towards students who REALLY want to get into a school that seems to be JUST out of reach for them: it instructs you...
