ABA LSAC Official Guide to ABA-Approved Law Schools, 2003

 (2 customer reviews)

If you're applying to law school (or are thinking about it), and you only get one book to research American Law Schools, get this one--trust me. You get four pages on every ABA approved law school (which are, really, the only schools one should be concerned with--with very few exceptions). Two pages of stats listing nearly all of the valuable information that you want to know, and also lots of information that you should know (but might not realize). Also two pages where the law school writes about itself. This book's information is probably more accurate, complete, and up to date than that in other publications (nearly all of which I've all read). The LSAC gives you the stats (so they are directly from the authority), and the law schools give you their spiel (which may be good and bad). Check it out. NOTE: Make sure you get the most current edition, they print a new one every year.

The cover says it all. This book gives the pertinent facts on all of the ABA approved schools. It also gives a brief summary of law school and the field of law. It does not rank the schools in an arbitrary matter. It gives you the data so you can rank them yourself.
