Book Author: Robert H. Miller, Esq.
Law Preview Review Rating: 5 Stars
Law School Confidential (Revised Edition) delivers again! The much-anticipated revised Second Edition of the best selling law school preparatory book adds three new mentors, two new chapters, updated financial aid, recruiting and judicial clerkship advice, and much, much more. You'll find no fluff in the revised edition's hefty 393 pages. Just a whole lot of solid, tested advice, eloquently delivered with humor and style.
Author Robert H. Miller, a former federal judicial clerk, Law Review Editor, and graduate of UPenn Law School, covers every aspect of the law school experience in thoughtful detail. Whether you are a college student just starting to think about law school, a student in the midst of law school applications, someone who has already been admitted, or someone already in law school, Law School Confidential is a book you should not be without.
Miller and his team of twelve "mentors" from law schools around the country take you through every step of the law school experience, from how to determine whether law school is right for you, preparing for and taking the LSAT, applying, and deciding which school to attend, to the specific details of each of the three years of the law school experience—including preparing for your courses, examsmanship, finding and getting summer jobs, judicial clerkships and permanent employment, earning a seat on the Law Review, and more. An extensive new chapter is devoted to an exclusive one-on-one interview with Dean of Admissions Richard Geiger of the Cornell Law School, wherein closely-guarded secrets of the increasingly competitive admissions process are discussed openly for the first time anywhere. Another new chapter goes one-on-one with the hiring partners of two prestigious U.S. law firms about how to succeed in the hiring process, and what it takes to make it to partnership. Also featured is the chapter highlighting Miller's updated multi-variable "relevance calculus," which law school placement officers around the country have adopted and are actively using to help law students choose careers.
Perhaps the best thing about Law School Confidential, though, is that it is refreshingly honest about the law school experience. Written in an easy, conversational style, and candid, but not bitter, Confidential simply tells it like it is about law school, the competition, and what it all means to you. The team of mentors gives this book even more depth and breadth, making its advice broadly applicable to law students in just about any law school. We think Law School Confidential is a must-have book for prospective and current law students.
