Book excerpt: One L, Scott Turow's journal of his first year at law school and a best-seller when it was first published in 1977, has gone on to become a virtual bible for prospective law students. Not only does it introduce with remarkable clarity the ideas and issues that are the stuff of legal education; it brings alive the anxiety and competiveness--with others and, even more, with oneself--that set the tone in this crucible of character building. Each September, a new crop of students enter Harvard Law School to begin an intense, often grueling, sometimes harrowing year of introduction to the law. Turow's group of One Ls are fresh, bright, ambitious, and more than a little daunting. Even more impressive are the faculty. Will the One Ls survive? Will they excel? Will they make the Law Review, the outward and visible sign of success in this ultra-conservative microcosm? With remarkable insight into both his fellows and himself, Turow leads us through the ups and downs, the small triumphs and tragedies of the year, in an absorbing and thought-provoking narrative that teaches the reader not only about law school and the law but about the human beings who make them what they are. In the new afterword for this edition of One L, the author looks back on law school from the perspective of ten years' work as a lawyer and offers some suggestions for reforming legal education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interested in law school? How should you prepare? What courses should you take? What law schools should you apply to? Finding answers to these and many other questions can make preparing for and applying to law school a difficult and complicated process. Getting experienced advice helps to make the process manageable. Using a question and answer format, Tim Hagle, a Political Science professor at the University of Iowa, responds to the questions most frequently asked by prelaw students. Professor Hagle is a past member of the State Bar of Michigan and was a co-author of a test preparation book for the LSAT. In Prelaw Advisor, Professor Hagle draws on his personal experiences, those of lawyers and former students, and over 30 years of prelaw advising to help readers prepare for and get into law school. Prelaw Advisor covers a wide range of information that will help to guide those interested in law school from the first semester of college (or even the end of high school) through graduation and into law school. Topics addressed include "hard advice" on the rigors of law school and the legal profession, the types of courses that provide a solid preparation for law school, the value of extracurricular activities and internships, how law schools evaluate applicants, and factors to consider when choosing a law school. Prelaw Advisor addresses the questions most important to those interested in law school and contains a wealth of information that will help prelaw students navigate the process of preparing for and getting into law school.

This book was released on 2013-10-25 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lawyers and law students need to think lucidly and write clearly. Undergraduate “prelaw” students who aspire to become law students and someday lawyers can do the former by practicing the latter. If writing is like thinking, then studying writing is like studying thinking. This book is a study of legal writing and the law school admissions process, which provides candid advice on navigating the LSAC.org application process, the LSAT, and a style of writing called “FIRAAC.” The FIRAAC formula can help prelaw students learn to write (think) like a law student. FIRAAC can also help law students pass “race-horse” exams and bar candidates pass the bar exam. If your goal is to go to law school, graduate, pass the bar exam, and become a lawyer who writes (thinks) lucidly and clearly, then this book is for you!
