Top Law Schools

Anyone read this book? Is it any good?

it's worth a read. It's WAY better than PLS or Law School Confidential.

Ya I like it so far, I started it yesterday and am about a 1/4 way through the book. Pretty interesting read, though so far, I haven't read much new information.

Haven't read this, but I'm going through Getting to Maybe.

It's making me see what I should have done on the test, and killing my confidence about my performance. However, I don't know that I would have gotten as much out of it if I read it before school started and I didn't have time during the semester so... what can you do.

I read this last week. It's pretty good, though there's nothing groundbreaking in it. Probably would have been better for me to read this before 1L.

Just wanted to give this a bump. Just got this book and am starting it now to prepare for August. Any new thoughts on this book? Thanks!

bump. the reviews on amazon are glowing (30 five star reviews), yet i've never heard of the book on TLS. any more input?

In the process...pretty good read so far

Edit: RC Fail

Can you read it like a sort of "glimpse into past experiences" of law school? Like, I read Turow's book and loved it, but more as a pseudo-fiction book than anything I thought would be useful. Would you say it's similar to that, or is it more a "how to" like Law School Confidential or Planet Law School (neither of which I have any desire to read)?

Edit: *sigh*

I couldn't get more than a few chapters into PLS...it just sounds like some disgruntled dude on a rant. Or is it just me?

Liked LSC, thumbing through Getting to Maybe and probably gonna grab 1L of a Ride.

Also read Lawyer Boy. Entirely engaging and amusing. If anyone is going to DePaul (like me!) the dude who wrote it is a DePaul grad. It's funny seeing deans' and professors' names in the book, gives you an idea of a few of their personalities.

Inygma, if you want to read something that will prepare you for your future King Hall career, google "erotic Harry Potter fan fic"

It's definitely not a how-to book. Yeah, it's more just for entertainment and to take a look at law school (namely, HLS) back in the day. Not a bad read

Also: I read both LSC and PLS II. PLS is def a waste of time; I would not recommend it. LSC was kinda cool though. I don't know how much of it I'll actually take with me into LS, but I didn't hate the book

Sounds exactly like the Turow book ("One L"), which I really enjoyed. I'll look for it.

i don't like your username

Wow. I'm retarded. Total RC fail. I was talking about One L by Turrow the whole time. I actually haven't read 1L of a Ride. lol My bad

Just to confirm for everyone else, 1L of a Ride is nothing like One L. It's more like Law School Confidential and I would actually recommend it right after Getting to Maybe.
