Reviews

The ABCs of Law School is an essential read for any person thinking about going to law school, or desiring to be prepared to excel in law school once he or she gets there. Teresa Power does an outstanding job capturing the important basics of the first-year law school experience, and communicating them in a very clear and engaging way. You will be very pleased that you read this superb law school primer, and feel that you have a 'leg up' as you embark on a very challenging but rewarding adventure. -- Barry P. McDonald, Straus Research Professor of Law, Pepperdine University School of Law Exceptionally well written, impressively informative, extraordinarily well organized and presented, The ABCs of Law School is unreservedly recommended for community, college, and university library collections. The ideal introduction and explanation of what attending law school encompasses and a 'must read' for anyone contemplating applying for law school, it should be noted for the personal reading lists of students and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject that The ABCs of Law School is also available in a digital book format. -- Midwest Book Review Friendly and inviting. The book is written where you can skip chapters and read about different topics without having to read straight through. Definitely, a great handbook for the potential law student. -- Independent Book Publishers Association Genuinely honest and insightful, The ABCs of Law School is a must read for anyone navigating the murky waters of 1L. Move aside daunting treatises and classroom intimidation, the ABCs straightforward approach to breaking down the law through detailed outlines will make your 1L experience a breeze and classmates enviable! --Taylor Magnuson, 2L at UC Berkeley School of Law I had always assumed that applying to law school would be largely similar to the university application process, but as I begin to consider applying to law school, I cannot help but feel overwhelmed by the vast amount of mostly useless information out there. Articles online are either not relevant or too specific, and limited workshops fail to be broad enough in scope to address my needs; Teresa Power's The ABCs of Law School is the only resource I've found that provides a truly comprehensive picture of law school... to say that this book gives me a competitive advantage would be an understatement at best, and, at worst, a monumental overlooking of Teresa's sharp prose, deft organization, and years of honest experience. Whether you are merely considering law school, currently working on applications, or already in your first year, there is no better resource for prospective law students than The ABCs of Law School. If I make it through these next three years, I'll know exactly who to thank. -- Kenneth Schrupp, University of California, San Diego, Class of 2020
