Offers one hundred rules that every first year law student should live by “Dear Law Student: Here’s the truth. You belong here.” Law professor Andrew Ferguson and former student Jonathan Yusef Newton open with this statement of reassurance in The Law of Law School. As all former law students and current lawyers can attest, law school is disorienting, overwhelming, and difficult. Unlike other educational institutions, law school is not set up simply to teach a subject. Instead, the first year of law school is set up to teach a skill set and way of thinking, which you then apply to do the work of lawyering. What most first-year students don’t realize is that law school has a code, an unwritten rulebook of decisions and traditions that must be understood in order to succeed. The Law of Law School endeavors to distill this common wisdom into one hundred easily digestible rules. From self-care tips such as “Remove the Drama,” to studying tricks like “Prepare for Class like an Appellate Argument,” topics on exams, classroom expectations, outlining, case briefing, professors, and mental health are all broken down into the rules that form the hidden law of law school. If you don’t have a network of lawyers in your family and are unsure of what to expect, Ferguson and Newton offer a forthright guide to navigating the expectations, challenges, and secrets to first-year success. Jonathan Newton was himself such a non-traditional student and now shares his story as a pathway to a meaningful and positive law school experience. This book is perfect for the soon-to-be law school student or the current 1L and speaks to the growing number of first-generation law students in America.

Each year, over 40,000 new students enter America's law schools. Each new crop experiences startlingly high rates of depression, anxiety, fatigue, and dissatisfaction. Kathryne M. Young was one of those disgruntled law students. After finishing law school (and a PhD), she set out to learn more about the law school experience and how to improve it for future students. Young conducted one of the most ambitious studies of law students ever undertaken, charting the experiences of over 1000 law students from over 100 different law schools, along with hundreds of alumni, dropouts, law professors, and more. How to Be Sort of Happy in Law School is smart, compelling, and highly readable. Combining her own observations and experiences with the results of her study and the latest sociological research on law schools, Young offers a very different take from previous books about law school survival. Instead of assuming her readers should all aspire to law-review-and-big-firm notions of success, Young teaches students how to approach law school on their own terms: how to tune out the drumbeat of oppressive expectations and conventional wisdom to create a new breed of law school experience altogether. Young provides readers with practical tools for finding focus, happiness, and a sense of purpose while facing the seemingly endless onslaught of problems law school presents daily. This book is an indispensable companion for today's law students, prospective law students, and anyone who cares about making law students' lives better. Bursting with warmth, realism, and a touch of firebrand wit, How to Be Sort of Happy in Law School equips law students with much-needed wisdom for thriving during those three crucial years.

If students wish to survive and excel in law school, they must approach it correctly. Students also need to understand what professors expect of them, or they will be left behind. Hard-Nosed Advice from a Cranky Professor explains some of the correct ways to approach law school and provides insight into professor expectations. This book is designed for new law students who would like to improve their chances of doing well in law school. Written from the perspective of a cranky, cantankerous professor, the book side-steps pleasantries to provide no-nonsense, sometimes hard-nosed advice that is intended to instruct students on what they must do to succeed. While blunt, the practical advice is provided in a light-hearted, humorous way. The book''s aim is to give concise answers to questions that most students have when they begin law school. The book''s user-friendly style is one of its greatest assets. In tight, to-the-point chapters, the book addresses those tasks that students commonly face in law school: from reading and briefing cases, to outlining, to preparing and taking exams, to being called on in class. The book also provides advice on success outside the classroom, including preparing for the bar exam. In many ways, through the professor''s grumblings, the book promotes professionalism and common sense. At the back of the book are sample case briefs and exam answers. "Professor Lawrence--the ''cranky, cantankerous'' law professor who serves as this book''s guide to law school and beyond--offers the kind of blunt advice and criticism that law students often fear but, alas, rarely receive. Whether you are new to law school or a law professor seeking the kinds of tips your students need to hear, you will find much in this book that deserves careful attention, all of it presented in a clear and entertaining fashion. Its advice will help you avoid the pitfalls of law school and get the most out of your legal education and the beginning of your professional life as a lawyer." -- Prof. Paul Horwitz, University of Alabama School of Law "Hard-Nosed Advice from a Cranky Law Professor delivers the type of practical, helpful, no-nonsense guidance that law students navigating the first year would be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. This is serious advice provided in an utterly refreshing and truly funny way." -- Prof. Lillian Aponte Miranda, Florida International University School of Law "First-year law students often have no solid information about what they ought to be doing to succeed; instead, they rely on popular culture, hearsay and rumors from upper division students, and their own undergraduate experiences, none of which is very useful. Parrish and Knolton''s book provides that guidance--bluntly, but sympathetically and humorously. Parrish and Knolton have done first-year law students a great favor by explaining what law professors expect from them, even though we usually never take the time to tell them." -- Prof. William D. Araiza, Brooklyn Law School "Finally, a book that gets to the point of law school, grabs your attention, and is entertaining at the same time!" -- Prof. Elizabeth Trujillo, Suffolk University Law School "I''m glad I never had a professor like Professor Lawrence while I was in law school, and I really hope you never do either. But law school would have been easier if I had read his advice before going. The key to being successful in law school isn''t complicated and is certainly not top-secret. If you follow what Professor Lawrence has to say, you''ll be well on your way." -- Prof. David S. Cohen, Drexel University Earle Mack School of Law "Professors Parrish and Knolton have written a succinct guide to law school that students will find tremendously helpful--and a lot of fun. Dispensing wisdom with a clever sense of humor, Hard-Nosed Advice from a Cranky Law Professor entertains as it teaches and demystifies the law school experience. This engaging book offers practical advice on topics ranging from briefing cases to preparing for the bar exam, making it an important resource for students at all stages of their legal education. The book''s guidance on outlining, exam-taking, and law review and clinical opportunities is especially valuable. I will recommend Hard-Nosed Advice from a Cranky Law Professor to my first-year students, and law schools should consider assigning it as part of their orientation programs." -- Prof. Christopher A. Whytock, University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law "Professors Parrish and Knolton share their wisdom and experience, explaining how law school works and what is expected of students. There are profound insights in this invaluable guide; it belongs on the desk of every law school student." -- Prof. Kristen E. Boon, Seton Hall University School of Law "When admitted students ask me how to prepare for law school, I offer three suggestions. First, to learn micro-economics because it is useful to understanding many first-year courses. Second, to adopt a sustainable exercise routine because law school is not just a test of intellect, it is an equally grueling test of stamina. And third, to watch Paper Chase, because it exposes much of the good and bad of the law school experience. But starting now, I will offer students a fourth suggestion: to read this book. With this book, Professors Parrish and Knolton have given students the key to unlock the secrets to law school success. This book may well become for JD students what the Federalist Papers are for constitutional law scholars: an indispensable roadmap to navigate labyrinthine terrain." -- Prof. Richard Albert, Boston College Law School "As Parrish and Knolton make clear, there are no shortcuts to success in law school. Hard work is required every step of the way. But this book will help law students focus their efforts by working ''smart'' along with working hard. The book''s straightforward organization makes law school less overwhelming and more manageable. I would recommend to every student beginning law school." -- Prof. Noah D. Hall, Wayne State University Law School "Professors Parrish and Knolton have managed to convey crucial advice to entering law students in a fun and straightforward way. Would-be law students should listen carefully to what their ''cranky law professor'' has to say. They are unlikely to get all of this advice so succinctly explained in one convenient source once they enter law school." -- Prof. Michael Waterstone, Loyola Law School Los Angeles "This is a great book, not only for law students, but for law professors seeking to re-learn some lessons of delivering a legal education. Most importantly, it sensibly (if crustily) speaks to expectations in the law classroom, an elusive baseline of behavior in an era of evolving classroom technologies, tightening job markets, and changing academic cultures. Whether the student or the professor agrees with the blunt advice in this book, this is as thought-provoking as a fun book like this can be." -- Prof. Shi-Ling Hsu, University of British Columbia Faculty of Law "This comprehensive yet concise manual is an indispensable resource for both prospective and current law students. With its witty, practical, and no-nonsense advice, Professors Parrish and Knolton address everything that law students need to understand to excel in all aspects of the law school experience from the summer prior to law school to preparing for the bar exam. Those who read this book will be spared the avoidable blunders that all students suffer throughout their legal education from ineffective study habits to misconceptions about the culture of law school and the legal profession. How I wish that this book could have been available when I pursued my legal education." -- Prof. Randall S. Abate, Florida A & M University College of Law "This book provides current and future law students virtually everything they need to know to enjoy their law school experience and to succeed while doing so. Short, shrewd, and witty, the book is highly recommended for every law student." -- Prof. Dan Markel, Florida State University College of Law "Everything you always wanted to know about law school but were afraid to ask. Professors Parrish and Knolton have demystified the law school experience and crystallized their insights into practical, real-world advice on how to navigate law school successfully. It is a great resource for busy students, and for the professors who advise them." -- Prof. Jodi Short, Georgetown University Law Center "Parrish and Knolton have put together a highly useful and readable guide to tackling the academic, social, and political challenges of law school. Their book delivers essential advice with a no-nonsense--and often humorous--attitude, and busy students will no doubt appreciate the handy checklist at the end of each chapter." -- Prof. Janine Y. Kim, Marquette University Law School "Hard-Nosed Advice from a Cranky Law Professor is the new must-read for all prospective and current law students. In a concise, infinitely readable and surprisingly entertaining way, this book gives 1Ls the absolute essentials they will need to succeed in law school. Just as important, this remarkable book instructs all law students on how to maximize their tremendous law school investment and launch their future careers. As the highly amusing, always spot-on Cranky Professor himself might say, ''To understand law school you must first read this book (and again).'' " -- Prof. Babette Boliek, Pepperdine University School of Law

Lawyer and university professor Olga A. Possé wants to be clear: law school is hard. Her new book isn't one of those deceptively cheery law school guides. Instead, by examining the successes and failures of law students, Possé offers a proactive approach to understanding and avoiding nine common, insidious, and GPA damaging pitfalls that have consistently plagued law students for decades. In Nine Easy Ways to F*ck Up in Law School, Possé covers how to choose the right law school for the right reasons, adjust to unfamiliar law school teaching methods, avoid the nine f*ck ups that destroy law school GPAs, master case law analysis, case briefing and case synthesis skills, apply statutory interpretation rules, write effective law school course outlines to prepare for final exams, practice the I/ARAC exam format, outline comprehensive final exam answers, develop a lawyerly writing style for final exams, weigh the pros and cons of extracurriculars, and get that perfect job. Olga A. Possé has over twenty years of experience as a teacher, mentor, and guide for prelaw and law students. She's seen every possible academic pitfall and exposes the nine major reasons why law students fail to maximize their potential. Possé's new guide to the law school experience tells you exactly what you should focus on (mastering advanced language and legal analysis skills) and what you should avoid (the nine preventable f*ck ups). By showing you exactly how easy it is to screw up, she helps you to protect your GPA and outrival your law school competition. When Possé's niece announced she was going to law school and started to ask questions about what to expect, Possé realized how ill-prepared many law students are. So she decided to write a book that shows prospective law students what law school is really like. She has spent over twenty years teaching substantive law, legal analysis and legal writing skills to prelaw students at SUNY Buffalo and polled hundreds of post-1L law students for her book research. Succeeding at law school means planning not to fail. Get off on the right foot with Possé's new book.
