    Synopsis

    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.

    After going through 1.5 years of law school, I realize this books is wrong on many points.by Anonymous

    December 28, 2008: This book is a good primer for students entering law school, but also severely outdated since it was written before computers became mainstream. Law school is actually a lot easier than it once was, a testament to the prevalence of laptops and availability and speed of the internet.

    With that said, it does give some good tips for briefing cases that I still use to this day. Just work hard and you will do well; it is as simple as that, even if one thinks I am oversimplyifying the experience.

    November 05, 2007: If you are considering law school or gearing up to start a law school career this book is perfect and a must read. I bought it before I began law school and it helped immensely in picturing what the next three years would be like. You can read it all at once and then follow-up based on what chapter/year in law school you are. I am now a third year law student in California and looking back can say that this book provides some useful insight and paints an accurate picture of law school.
