"If you read "1L of a Ride," trust me, you will have an edge over any student who hasn't read it. There is a reason Professor McClurg has won numerous teaching awards and other accolades from the legal community. This book is written much in the same way as McClurg teaches, with an engaging, entertaining yet always informative style. When reading this book, you feel like you are getting honest, personal advice from a trusted friend. Along with advice about how to manage your first year mentally and emotionally, you learn skills such as case briefing and effective note-taking that you will need on day one. And in law school, day one counts! The book also covers course outlining, exam preparation, and how to tackle and avoid the common mistakes that law students make on their exams. You will find these skills and information priceless. In addition to all of this, there are many personal stories written by current, successful law students that back up the advice found in the book and add to the conversational, accessible nature of the book. This is the book I wish I had read before my first year of law school and it's a book I would have found very useful as a reference throughout that entire year. I have read other law school prep books, and McClurg's book is unique in many ways. It is the only book that focuses solely on the first year of law school and all of the habits and skills, as well as the mentality, that you need to survive it. It's a little pricey, but when you're spending tens of thousands of dollars on law school, it's definitely an investment that will pay great dividends in your future as a law student."
