It is a great book for people to get a general idea about law schools admissions essays. The book contains abstracts from essays and shows the diversity of students and their intellectual high level! I love it! I am Russian and I plan to enroll into good school so I ordered this book and I think it is a good asset to have and to study!The book was in good condition and promptly delivered.
