- An indispensable law school guide!
This was a great book. I'm about to start my senior year in college, and I didn't start considering law school seriously until earlier this year.

Rating: - The best rescourse out there
This book was my best resource for my first year of law school.There was so much great information and tips on how to organize and orient your self.Not everyone knows a lawyer or has one in the family to ask these questions to or get advice from. And law school has changed over the last 20 years, what worked in the 70s (1L) is not what works now. This book helped with my general anxiety and gave me tools I needed to get a good start.
Rating: - Great Resource
I enjoyed reading this book. I am in the beginning stage of pursing my career in law and this book answered a lot of questions I had and gave me some great advice for the future.

- one of the best law school prep books out there
just finished law school confidential. i really enjoyed the book. it had some very helpful points. it's not revealing any huge secrets to success, but the suggestions and tips are definitely worth the read. this book is much much better than a lot of the other law school prep books out there.

It is broken up in to four parts 1. Prelaw: the LSAT, picking the right school, financial aid, evaluating ... Read More
