Written over 80 years ago, but highly relevant today, THE BRAMBLE
BUSH remains one of the books most frequently and strongly
recommended for students to read when considering law school, just
before beginning its study, or in the first semester. It began as a
collection from a series of introductory lectures given by legal
legend Karl Llewellyn to new law students at Columbia University.
It still speaks to law, legal reasoning, class prep, and
exam-taking skills in a way that makes it a classic for each new
generation. The Legal Legends Edition features an extensive 2012
Introduction by Stewart Macaulay, a senior professor of law at the
University of Wisconsin. He places this work into the modern
classroom and explains its context and current value to law
students and lawyers, as well as changes to legal education since
the book first was released. Simply put, Macaulay writes, "The
Bramble Bush is a book that anyone interested in law schools or law
should read." Llewellyn's pointed and clear explanations of case
briefing before class, visualization of cases, active learning in
class, note-taking, the use of precedent, exam format, and the
limits of logic have proved timeless and highly practical. They
remain excellent advice for current students to consider and
implement in their own journey into the law. This is no Chamber of
Commerce speech of mere platitudes about law practice and the
grandeur of the bar. To be sure, Llewellyn believed in law school
and legal education, and in dreaming big about a life in the law.
But he was-famously-a realist above all, and this book gets to the
nuts and bolts of studying law successfully in traditional legal
education. Whether from the enduring nature of his hands-on advice,
or from the reality that the first year of law study and its
classroom method just have not changed very much over many years,
the book remains, by all accounts, targeted to the way 'thinking
like a lawyer' continues in the modern law school. Now in a
library-quality cloth edition from Quid Pro Books, THE BRAMBLE BUSH
features embedded page numbers from the standard print editions-for
continuity of referencing or classroom assignment. Quid Pro's
hyperaccurate reproduction of the original text is unlike any other
version available, even recent reprints from traditional publishers
(who use poor scanning, alter text, omit parts of sentences, and
misspell legal terms). Only Quid Pro editions of this classic work
respect Llewellyn's book by presenting it as he wrote it, yet in a
modern format and clear presentation for a new generation.
