The vast majority of content here on LSAT Blog is, unsurprisingly, about the LSAT.However, plain common sense tells me that just about all of you are considering law school.
As such, I've made Law School Basics: A Preview of Law School and Legal Reasoning by Professor David Hricik available for instant PDF download. It's also available on Amazon.
(I've also published an excerpt from it covering the Socratic method, as well as an excerpt about law school case briefs.)
The table of contents includes:
-An Overview of Law School
-The United States Legal System
-The Common Law Reasoning Process
-Why Law School Is Structured Like It Is
-The Legal Research Process
-Hints for Better Legal Research
-Legal Writing: How Lawyers Write About Cases
-Writing Hints

At the moment, this 203-page guide to law school is only $9.97.
Here's a description of the book directly from the publisher:
Law school has the reputation of being one of the hardest academic programs. It is a reputation well earned. However, Law School Basics is chock-full of insights and strategies that will prepare you well and give you a head start on the competition.***
Law School Basics presents a thorough overview of law school, legal reasoning, and legal writing. It was written for those who are considering law school; for those who are about to start law school; and for those who are interested in knowing more about lawyering and the legal process.
Law School Basics was written with one overriding goal: to enlighten you about everything the author wishes he had known before starting law school.
