Product Description:
Becoming a first-year law student—a "One L"—at the oldest, most esteemed law school in the United States threw Scott Turow into a physical, emotional, and intellectual combat zone.

"The Bramble Bush" by Karl Lewellyn
"The Paper Chase" by John Jay Osborn

I hear references to this book all the time in the halls of my law school and on fellow student's face book message boards. I do not go to a top tier law school like the author (he went to Harvard). I also have a different background than the author and our political views are not similar.
Nonetheless, this book does relate a lot of the experiences and attitudes a law student can expect to run across during the first year. The overly aggressive professor, the students who have a problem ... Read More
