Book Reviews of 1000 Days to the Bar - But the Practice of Law Begins Now: How to achieve your personal best in Law School

Book Review: 1000 Days to the Bar
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is everything I needed in a law school prep book and more. Although the author goes above and beyond with his method for success, this is geared to make a lasting impression on the reader. Very easy to read, and side notes informative. It was an excellent preparatory book for the summer before school.
