From finding the right school to impressing potential employers, law school can prove an intensely demanding and frustrating experience. Learning the Law helps the fledgling paper-chaser anticipate and avoid the worst difficulties by discussing - How to evaluate law schools and assess their placement records - Strategies for studying cases, succeeding on exams, and developing academic credentials, and - Techniques for using the Internet, searching for on-line collections of law libraries, and locating career opportunities. Unlike other books about law school, Learning the Law goes beyond graduation and explains what lies ahead - Different career options, including private law firms and corporate law departments - The demands law firms and clients place on new recruits, and - How big firms differ from small ones, who counts in the partnership hierarchy, and what it`s like to have a solo practice. This revised edition includes information on how to find help and opportunities on the Internet. With its informal style and humorous touches, Learning the Law provides a comprehensive and yet highly readable introduction to the world of lawyers and law students.
