Description

If you've picked this book up, you fall into one of two categories. Chances are, if you go to law school you're someone who would be considered a "nontraditional" student. Or you're a "traditional" student (i.e., a student planning to go straight from college to law school) who is looking for a different perspective on the law school game. Either way, you'll find this book to be a valuable resourceùfrom the initial stages of planning for law school through admissions, the first year, and right up to graduation and the bar exam. Other law school books focus on largely irrelevant factors such as rankings and employment in "prestigious" law firms. In short, while a large fraction of law students today would be considered nontraditional, there is little accurate, relevant material to help nontraditional students navigate the admissions process and ultimately succeed in law school. That's where this guide steps in. This book is a distillation of the collective wisdom and experience of thousands of law students (including, yes, law review editors). With hundreds of excerpts, the information in this book is applicable to all law students... traditional and nontraditional alike. After combining parenting with law school, Charles Cooper practices law in Virginia (and continues as a practicing parent). As mid-life is upon him, he's considering a transition from yardwork to motorcycles. Book jacket.
