I bought this book the summer before my first semester of law school. I read several chapters before classes began and just that little bit of information really gave me a better understanding of the classes. I felt prepared for the material and the structure, and confident that I wouldn't be confused around exam time. I am still in my first semester, so I have not yet been able to put the book's instructions to a real exam yet, but I'll let you know how it goes this December! The first half of the book can be tedious and sometimes confusing if you haven't had more than a few weeks of law school. You'll initially get discouraged and start thinking that there's no way that you could ever do what the authors are asking you to do, but the second half of the book will clear all those doubts away. If you're in a time crunch, just read the second half, which has all the tips for exam taking laid out and easy to understand. This book will help alot -- if nothing else, having read it will give you the extra boost of confidence you may need to perform well in class and on exams. Of course, as the authors say time and again, there is NO substitute for attending class and listening to your professor!Read full review
Extremely useful and insightful. Loved being able to get into the professor's heads. I want to go to law school this fall and was really needing a step up and Iif my pre-law prof hadn't recommended this book, I think I'd be truly lost. I might be lost anyway when I get there, but at least I had a heads up from these wonderful authors. I appreciate them so much! Great book. Rough reading, but worth it.
If you have doubts about whether law school is learnable, this books provides assurance and covers much-needed material information to relive you of your doubts. It touches on the many moving parts of law school that must be known prior to entering law school, so you can be a successful law student.

this book was an alternative to the "irac" method that everyone swears by. i like the emphasis on learning material first and learning how to present your answer second. well written, easy to use.
I'm getting ready for law school and bought a number of books to give myself an idea of what lies ahead. This was the last book I read, which ended up being great timing. While all the other books were engaging, this one was a chore to read. If I had read it first and thought that it was representative of law school, I would have been worried. Read anything else.
