Summary: This is the one to buy!
Comment: There are so many books out there about succeeding in law school. Save your time and money and just read this one. Everything you need to know is here- in plain English. The authors have written a short and sweet book that is easier, quicker and a lot more helpful than books out there that are twice as long. The examples on briefing and outlining are wonderful and you can refer to them throughout your first couple of months of study. Don't waste any more time- you already have enough to do- just buy this book!

Summary: Enjoyable read
Comment: I am going to law school next fall, so I don't know if the material is "right on" to law school success. However, I have read a few books on the "law school experience" and I enjoyed this one for a couple reasons. First, there is no legalese here -- they write in simple, plain English. As such, it is a very easy read. Second, the strategies are very straight-forward. For example, they outline a 4-step process for briefing cases that is succinct, easy to follow, and describe what to focus on (and, what not to focus on). What strikes me unusual about this book is that is both very informative and very readable. Highly recommended.

Summary: What to study and what to skip
Comment: This book teaches you what you need to focus on in your first year of law school, but even better, it points out all the things you should ignore. For example, the author recommends using electronic databases to cross-reference topics for legal research and warns how counter-productive it is to wander through a legal library without first using the databases to narrow your search. The subjects are thoroughly covered and at the end of each chapter there is a "Dicta" column that sums up all the things that rookies waste time trying to learn.
It's a heck of a value and a good guide for your first year preparations.
