Guide to Law Schools - Barrons Guide to Law Schools

Product Review

College students planning to go on to law school will find the most up-to-date information available on nearly 200 ABA-approved law schools across the United States. Profiles include details on admission requirements, academic programs, the school calendar, a capsule description of the faculty, library facilities, tuition and fees, available financial aid, graduation requirements, professional organizations, and student body composition. Several non-ABA schools get brief profiles in a section of their own. The book also offers advice on choosing a law school, getting career counseling, taking the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), and applying to a law school. A sample LSAT with answers and explanations is a bonus feature in this directory.

This review is from: Guide to Law Schools (Barron's Guide to Law Schools) (Paperback)

This is a great place to start once you have made the decision to apply to law school. It breaks down the application process really well and covers all of the ABA- approved schools thoroughly. The layout is easy to navigate and pretty much all of the preliminary information that you need for a school is there. I really liked how it showed all of the schools on a map- to my knowledge there is no other resource available that does that. It is really helpful if you know where you want to study but not necessarily all of the schools that are in that area (I found a couple of schools in NYC that I had not heard of). I have not found any incorrect information yet, and have been toting it around everywhere with me for almost a year. I don't know how hard it would have been without it.
