 A world of knowledge packed into a small book. June 23, 1998

I have read several books about preparing for law school and I found this one to be the best. It had a broad range of topics, each having an impact on a first year law student. I did not buy the book myself, the ONU Law School Dean Of Admissions sent it to me. It covered topics including- breifing cases, civil procedure, conons of statutory construction and more. Overall I found it really helpful.

This is required reading for several of my potential law schools. Written by lawyer parents for their son as a guide for his journey through law schools, this book explains (without an overabundance of legalese)some very important basics for potential law students!
Wonderful!!! January 19, 2009

This book was recommended in a class I took which had both law students and non-law graduate students like public health students. I found it a very readable introduction to both the legal system and the basics of law. Topics include the concept of jurisdiction, different levels of appeal, rulings vs. dicta, different types of law (legislative, administrative, common law, etc.) While the book is targeted at people about to start law school, it may be surprisingly interesting for the general reader as well. Even sections on how to summarize cases and write essays on law, might carry over to other kinds of professional writing as well.

I read the book because it was due for orientation, but it had some very useful things in it. I would recommend it to anyone entering law school.
