The Slacker's Guide to Law School

printrequest sample

Publisher: The Fine Print Press, Ltd.

The title of this book, The Slacker’s Guide to Law School, might strike some as irreverent. “Slacker” is a term of pride and even endearment among the latest generation of student, however, and this book gives prospective law students a realistic idea of what exactly they are getting into.  This book is not about laziness, but about succeeding on one’s own terms. Thus the subtitle: Success without Stress.

Later-in-Life Lawyers (2nd Ed.)

by Cooper, Charles

Law schools are, by their nature, traditional in attitude and in structure.  Most books about law school take the same approach: they do not address the unique needs of the significant nontraditional segment of their student body.  Other law school books focus on largely irrelevant factors such as rankings and employment in “prestigious” law firms...
