Summary: Juan Doria, Author of "The Slacker's Guide to Law School: Success Without Stress" 2008-07-28
Comment: I'm a big fan of Canada, and in the past, I've had good experiences visiting its major cities and skiing its slopes. I've also had the good fortune of having some dear Canadian friends. When I was in law school, one of them recommended I read "So You Want to be a Lawyer, Eh?" by Adam Letourneau. The clever title alone was enough for me to want to read it.
It is a very accomplished book - well written and organized. Canadian law students are lucky that it is available, and from what I've seen, it appears to be unchallenged as Canada's ultimate guide to law school. It would be a useful prerequisite for anyone entering law school in Canada.
Yet I would recommend it to American law students as well. The most I got out of it was an interesting comparative look at what our colleagues from the North have to suffer through. But, though there are some key differences in the Canadian and American systems, there are even more similarities, and as the book goes on, it's easy to forget that the action is taking place north of the border. Just because the title says "eh" at the end of it, it would be a mistake for American law students to think the book is not applicable to them.
A good, useful book for anyone who wants to be a lawyer; Canuck or otherwise.
