Calm your nerves and get helpful info,
By Random Reader "msjoanna" (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Law School Confidential: A Complete Guide to the Law School Experience (Paperback)
After researching these sorts of books online and talking to some 2 and 3Ls, I decided to buy this book and Deaver's book. I wish I'd only bought this one! The authors are very helpful and write in a common-sense tone. They understand what being a student is like because they speak from the perspective of recent law school grads.This book is targeted towards younger students - not really towards law as a second career track folks. It provides both specific details about how to study and broader overviews of things like interviewing for jobs and what to expect from summer associateships. The study methods sound do-able and have helpful hints about what to do if you're off track from the study schedule. Overall, I found the book readable, helpful, and would highly recommend it to anyone about to start law school or seriously considering it.

One of the better law school prep books...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Law School Confidential: A Complete Guide to the Law School Experience (Paperback)
I have bought way too many of law school preparation guides. Most of them are in a pile on my floor, but this is the one I keep picking up over and over. The advice is straighforward and doesn't try to sugarcoat issues about getting in and all three years of law school, it tells it like it is. The panel is an interesting representation of all types of students from all types of schools.All in all highly recommended.

Thinking of Law School? This is a Must-Read,
By Naveen Kabir (Mountain View, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Law School Confidential: A Complete Guide to the Law School Experience (Paperback)
If you are contemplating going to law school, applying to law school, a current law student, or have friends/loved ones who are any of the above, this book will be a great resource for you. It takes you through the application process, each semester at law school, obtaining summer and post grad employment, up through passing the bar exam. Not only is it comprehensive, but the advice of the author and his fellow recent law school grads is honest, up-to-date, insightful, diverse, and most of all, practical. The advice in this book is what you'd get if you had time to sit down and ask a panel of new lawyers to unlock the mysteries of getting a legal education. Thus, 'Law School Confidential' also manages to shed light on any common sense that is so often trampled in the stresses of law school.I read this book cover to cover, and I felt 100% enlightened and energized after I finished it. I will now be able to apply to law school with great verve, and the most important take-away point from this book for me was that now I am sure that law school is the right path for me. Even if you get nothing else out of this book, being able to assess whether or not plunging into law school is a good decision that merits the cost of the book several times over.
