Who are you? A college junior, wondering if you should join the herd and sign up for an LSAT prep course? A disappointed senior, whose numbers don't reflect who you are? A third-year law student, looking with horror down the long road to partner? A weary worker with an armful of law school brochures, wondering if it's time to make a career change? Or maybe you're just another miserable lawyer? Who's advising you -- your friend who declared himself "pre-law" in junior high? A recruitment poster? Your mother? How are you going to make the right decisions? There is too much at stake not to ask yourself the hard questions about what lies ahead. In How to Get into Law School, Susan Estrich takes aspiring law students beyond the numbers game of high-rated schools and LSAT scores and conducts an examination that will help determine if practicing law is truly what you want to do with your life and whether you have what it takes to be a lawyer. Estrich lends her unique point of view and far-ranging experience -- as ace law student, tenured professor, renowned legal scholar and analyst -- to the life and career questions you will face, and answers them in the frank, no-nonsense manner that is her trademark.
