Fear Law School No More. It never fails. You get into law school, and there is momentary joy: “I’m going to law school.” Won’t mom and dad be proud. The problem is, the joy is just that: momentary. Then it happens. The fear sets in. “I’m going to Law School.” All the mythology about the first year of law school, all the uncertainty about how to approach it, all the psycho-nonsense the whole legal world seems committed to imposing on you, it all sets in. And so most of us go into law school totally bewildered, unsure of our footing, more spooked than Scooby Doo. This book screams into the darkness: No more! You can get a lot of advice from a lot of places about how to do law school. And it will all be the same conventional wisdom. The conventional wisdom is fine, if all you want to do is survive law school. The problem is, however, the conventional wisdom will lead you into the same place as everyone else following it: the big middle of the class. And ending up in the big middle of the class won’t get you the job you want. Law School Ninja will tell you how to get on the right side of the curve. The book rejects most of the conventional wisdom and provides a specific strategy for mastering law school. You will find out what really matters in your first year of law school and what doesn’t. You will learn why most of daily class preparation is a total waste of time. You will learn the smart way to outline classes. Most of all, you will have a killer exam preparation strategy that will make you the best prepared student that sits down at any of your exams. Most importantly, you will have a plan in place for law school and the confidence to not only survive law school, but to actually enjoy it. Law School Ninja has just been released.

This review is from: Law School Ninja (Paperback)
I was lucky to read this book at the beginning of my first law school year when I was overwhelmed with reading and studying. Law School Ninja, unlike other exam prep books, helped me with strategy and organization. It gives a framework for not just passing but actually acing exams. It is also very easy to read, it's almost conversational and even humorous at times. I read it in just a few days and now my studying approach is more focused and strategic.

Gary Young's combination of wit and unconventional wisdom makes Law School Ninja a fantastic read, particularly for any first year law student hoping to excel in law school. The book provides a concise compilation of several practical insights and tools necessary for succeeding in the dreaded 1L year and beyond. If you are a prospective law student who intends to compete for the top jobs out of law school, you need to read this book. I only wish I would have had Young's wisdom and insights prior to my law school experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read, August 25, 2011

This review is from: Law School Ninja (Paperback)
This is a short book and a really easy read. If you're a One L or if you're thinking about law school, there's really no reason not to read this book. If anything, it provides the most concrete, down to earth, kick in the nads advice about law school that you'll ever hear. Keep in mind that the author not only teaches, but he hires law school grads as well. If you read this book, you might walk into class less prepared than your colleagues, but you'll be more confident about the one thing that really matters about law school. In this job market, you can't afford not to read this book.
