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.
