Law School for Grown-Ups

Law School for Grown-Ups Review

"Law School for Grown-Ups" is a succinct, practical, and somewhat irreverent guide to law school education. This guide’s focus is narrower than most guides. It is a project manual on the core elements of law school: class preparation, class participation, course outlining, and final exams. It also includes advice on dealing with the insecurity, hype, and paranoia that run rampant in the law school culture.

The author believes that too much of the advice presented in other law school guides is intuitive to the target reader of this guide – grown-ups. Much of this guide's advice goes against conventional wisdom found in other guides about law school success.

NOTE: This guide is succinct and does not contain any "feel-good" advice. At approximately 7,600 words in length, it is much shorter than other law school guides. The author has provided his advice on methods that worked well for him in law school - nothing more.
