Product Description
Law School Confidential is written for students about to embark on this three-year odyssey by students who have successfully survived. It demystifies the life-altering thrill ride that defines an American legal education by providing a comprehensive, blow-by-blow, chronological account of what to expect. It arms students with a thorough overview of the contemporary law school experience. This isn't the advice of graying professors or battle-scarred practitioners decades removed from law school. Miller has assembled a panel of recent graduates to act as "mentors", all of whom are perfectly positioned to shed light on what law school is like today. From taking the LSAT, to securing financial aid, to navigating the notorious first semester, to taking exams, to applying for summer internships, to getting on the law review, to tackling the bar and beyond...this book explains it all.

I've only read the first few chapters because they're the only ones that apply to me so far. So far the advice is sound, there seems to be a lot of input from various people who have graduated from some of the top schools in the country. The writing is compelling and speaks directly to the reader in an informal manner. Probably a good guide to help someone wrap their head around the entire experience.

Great book, good condition. The status of my order was never updated so even though my book arrived in a decent amount of time, I thought the order was still being processed.

worth reading summer before 1L by A. Moyer (Alexandria, VA)

I am a 1L now. I'm glad I read this book, because it helped me to form realistic expectations of what law school will be like. Two notes: (1) Brief cases the traditional way your first month (maybe first semester) before you try the "technicolor" approach. It takes at least a month to learn how to breif, and if you start with "technicolor" you will probabaly just highlight everything the first month. (2) Wait until two weeks in to buy commercial outlines to get a feel for the course. Look closely at the outlines before purchasing to make sure they will be helpful. Some outline go better with some casebooks.

I'm considering law school, graduating in December, so I found this book extremely helpful, and insightful in learning more on the law school experience. I believe I have a better understanding of what it takes to not only get in, but to be successful. I would highly recommend this book to anyone considering the same path!

I have just finished this book and it got me so excited to go to Law School this upcoming fall. I think it is an honest book and it definitely has me thinking about what I am getting myself into. Great things to think about, really easy to read, advice from students and faculty members, what else do you need?
