Law students today have a pretty good idea what to expect from the initial plunge into law school.

But the education doesn't end after the first year....

TAUGHT AT HAMLINE AND PROVIDENCE COLLEGE SEMINARS
WELL-REVIEWED IN SUCH PUBLICATIONS AS "ABA JOURNAL"

   Law school is a three-year
   course of study, and the
   first year often bears little
   resemblance to the final two.

      The NATIONAL JURIST writes
      that Letters from Law School is
      "[h]eartfelt, well-crafted and
      true to subject...." -- Jan/Feb 2001

"I gradually became aware that second-year and third-year students were moving through a world much different than that of a 1L," wrote Scott Turow, describing his first year at Harvard.

     Law school isn't all about books.
     During the second year of law school,
     students will likely spend more time
     trying to secure summer employment
     than they do studying for exams.

   LETTERS FROM LAW SCHOOL
   takes over where other books
   about law school leave off. The
   book follows a Tulane student
   through the first semester of his
   second year, the heart of the
   law school experience.

Facing two more years of grueling class work, mounting student loans, increasing pressure to stand out from the crowd, and the never-ending search for the perfect job, an upper-class student comes to realize that surviving the fall into the deep end is no guarantee he will learn to swim, let alone come up for air.

   LETTERS FROM LAW SCHOOL
   should be of interest to anyone
   in law school, anyone
   contemplating law school,
   and anyone else interested
   in legal education.

   The book has been taught at
   Hamline University and Providence
   college seminars.

"[Letters from Law School] will help undergraduates
decide whether law school is a place they want to go."

"Law school career services offices have long known
the period between August and November to be hectic
for students seeking positions for the following summer;
however students may not have known what to expect until now."

"The overwhelming amount of information absorbed by the 2L
provides a riveting and revealing picture of the life of a 2L....
This book is enjoyable to read. It provides a clear portrayal of law school
for those on the outside looking in and an informed forecast
of the future for those on the path to becoming lawyers."
-- Tulanian Magazine, October 2001

"If you are a second (or third) year student, you will thoroughly enjoy
