Description

This book provides a candid step-by-step road map to both academic and emotional success in law school's critical first year. Topics covered include top student fears, the first-year curriculum, effective class participation, types of law students and professors, case briefing, note-taking, outlining, legal research and writing, exam preparation, exam-taking, and stress management. This text shows rather than tells using dozens of anecdotes and comments from real 1Ls, as well as authentic samples of Socratic dialogue, exam questions, and student case briefs and class notes. The author is an award-winning professor and noted legal humorist with experience teaching at several law schools.
