Great source of information for anyone in or interested in law school

For several months I was mulling over the idea of taking the LSAT and applying to law school. I asked people who had been through law school or were currently attending what it was like, but I still felt unsure whether or not it was a good choice for me.

I ordered a few books to read what the law school experience would be like. The mistake I made was not reading this one first, because it's the only one you really need to get a great overview of law school, beginning to end.

Using the opinions of former law school students, the book demonstrates from the beginning that the purpose of the book is not simply to sell people on the idea of law school. Some students say they loved the experience, some say they're not sure if they'd do it again, and others say they made a mistake by attending and now feel trapped in their law careers.

Miller then leads the reader through what to expect throughout the years of law school. In the first part he discusses the application process, taking the LSAT, how to decide which schools are for you, and the reality of law school - good and bad.

Then he dedicates the next parts to what to expect in each specific year of law school. All the while he inserts testimony from former students about what they felt they did right, and what they would have done differently. By the end, all the questions I had about whether or not law school is something I should consider seriously were answered.

I was reading this book from the point of view of someone new to the idea of law school, and from that point of view I found it very helpful. I also believe this book could be helpful for people in other stages of law school. The parts on each individual year seem like they would be helpful, if I were in that position.

The only potential drawback I can see is that this is not a lengthy book. The first roughly 100 pages had answered most all my questions, addressing what the law school environment is like and what you should expect potential careers to be like. If you are looking for a longer and more detailed read about law school, you may want to opt for a lengthier book. However, from my perspective, this is exactly the kind of book I needed to read to settle my questions.

Useful, but limited

Lots of great information and useful advice, to be sure. However, reading this book one gets the impression that the only road to success is going to a top 20 school and working for a large firm. Written for overachievers who've been gunning for the Ivy League since kindergarten.

The Most Important Book I Read for Law School

This is the key to succeeding in law school. I didn't get the chance to read this book until I got to law school, but it helped me get the job of my dreams. I didn't go to a top tier law school, but I'm working in the field I want in the firm I wanted in the city I wanted. Get this book!

The other book to read on this is:
Ivy Briefs: True Tales of a Neurotic Law Student
