Inside the Law Schools: A Guide by Students for Students

Excellent resource for applying to law school; helped me narrow my scope; saved time applying to schools that would be a good match for me. Highly recommended.

Despite the previous reviews, I actually found this book to be very helpful. It gave me a much better feel for the schools that I was looking at applying to, which is more than I can say for the endless dry statistics found in other books.Two drawbacks, though. 1)Many schools were not covered in this book. 2)In some of the articles, the information seemed outdated.Other than that, a pretty good guide to law schools.

Not having read the earlier edition I can't speak to what the other reviewers said about the 7th edition not containing any fresh material...but I can say, that I found the reviews to be well written, and more importantly on just what I wanted to know about the law schools reviewed.I'd been looking around for a guide that would give insight into the atmosphere, types of students and focus of various law schools and hadn't been able to find much beyond books filled with lists of statistics.Although, I wouldn't use this book as 'the definitive guide' - especially now that I know it hasn't really been updated - I think its reviews are well-written and give good overviews of the kinds of human aspects of a school that really interest prospective law school students when selecting a school.
