"One L of a Year": How to Maximize Your Success in Law School

by Leah M. Christensen

Many books give law students advice about how to navigate through their first year of law school. This book strives to be something different. The purpose of "One L of a Year" is to focus on the reading, studying and testing strategies used by the most successful law students. This book is more than advice—it is a learning guide based upon empirical research and statistical correlations between law student learning and their law school GPAs.

Most importantly, this book attempts to show you what high-ranking law students have done to achieve success during their first year. It's one thing to read about how to take a law school essay exam—it's quite another thing to see examples of student essays, outlines, legal memoranda, and multiple choice questions. With drive and determination, most students can get through law school. However, "One L of a Year" gives you the research-based skills to maximize your own success.

Feeling special to be the 11th person to review this. Exactly what you would expect of a book like this

A few useful hints and a few things I already knew from my undergrad classes. It was definitely insightful as far as some of the exams go and helping with the reading aspect.
