Customer Book Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - direct, organized and helpful, but some extraneous stuff I am a recent law school graduate. This book is solid and easy to read. The info on outlining and study guides is generally excellent. I disagree with the authors that you should wait until the semester is half over to start outlining, however. That will lead to unnec. anxiety, too much work at once, and possible procrastination or non-completion of the outline--the worst possible thing a 1L can do. I started outlining right away and made outstanding grades (when I was finally smart enough to outline). At least start by end of the first month. Just look at the syllabus or the textbook's table of contents to see the big picture. Also, this book excessivley discusses legal research and writing. You will get all you need on that subject from your LRW class. Just keep up, and knock out assignments ahead of time. Your LRW textbook ought to discuss strategies as to timely completion of assignments. That is the most important thing with LRW. Oh, and stop doing research and start writing sooner rather than later. Hand in complete, organized rough drafts, and your instructor will point you in the right direction. You aren't expected to know everyhting as a 1L. Believe in yourself throughout the entire law school experience, reflect daily on your goals and situation, seek to quickly master new challenges, and minimize outside noise and distractions, at home and at school. Rating: - Acing is sound, effective and simple advice Having read many of the law school primers, I can say that this book is the simplest, most practical advice if you want to get good grades in your first year of law school. It tells you what to do and what not to waste your time on. Unlike some other books, the authors claim to have graduated near the top of their classes in law school so they seem to speak from experience (Plus they claim to know Julia Roberts!). Having read this, I am confident that I know how and when to outline for exams and how to write a great exam answer. I would recommend this to other first years. Rating: - Clear and concise This book gives you a great overview of the very basics of what law students will need to learn quickly and will not be taught. Get this book to have an understanding of what type of things you will be studying, how to write briefs, and how to outline and study for exams. Also gives you the basics of citations, what you need to know, and what not to worry about... A must read for new law students who want to ease their anxiety!
