Description
Law School Confidential is written for students about to embark on this three-year odyssey by students who have successfully survived. It demystifies the life-altering thrill ride that defines an American legal education by providing a comprehensive, blow-by-blow, chronological account of what to expect. It arms students with a thorough overview of the contemporary law school experience. This isn't the advice of graying professors or battle-scarred practitioners decades removed from law school. Miller has assembled a panel of recent graduates to act as "mentors", all of whom are perfectly positioned to shed light on what law school is like today. From taking the LSAT, to securing financial aid, to navigating the notorious first semester, to taking exams, to applying for summer internships, to getting on the law review, to tackling the bar and beyond...this book explains it all.

Summary: "law school book 2"
very well done. Nicely laid out. Lots of good information. I think it is copyright last 5 of 6 years. Fairly up to do date. Good insite and some great hints on the first year... do's and don'ts ... I like that part....
If you do buy it, buy it used... i would not have paid full price.. However this was very informative for me.

Summary: "DO NOT BUY KINDLE VERSION!"
The book itself seems perfectly ok. The 1 star is specifically for the Kindle version. It has a huge amount of OCR errors (that are also present in the apple ibook version, so it's a publisher issue). It makes the book almost unreadable in many places. There are some charts and forms that are messed up as well, but I expect that in a kindle version. Fix the errors and I would give it at least 3 stars. I have notified Amazon. For now stick with the paper copy.

Summary: "The Kindle Typo's ruined my experience."
This is a good book, but reading it on Kindle was far from enjoyable. It begins in the book's forward, the word "die" appears where the word "the" should be. I thought, that is okay, easy enough to deal with. However, as you get deeper into the book, the typo's become more cryptic and more frequent. I love my Kindle, but you are better off reading this in hardcopy.

Summary: "Compelling"
I've only read the first few chapters because they're the only ones that apply to me so far. So far the advice is sound, there seems to be a lot of input from various people who have graduated from some of the top schools in the country. The writing is compelling and speaks directly to the reader in an informal manner. Probably a good guide to help someone wrap their head around the entire experience.

Summary: "Satisfied"
Great book, good condition. The status of my order was never updated so even though my book arrived in a decent amount of time, I thought the order was still being processed.
