Book Reviews of What Law School Doesn't Teach You: But You Really Need to Know
Book Review: Read it twice, at least
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this up at the urging of my career services office, and I was not disappointed. Upbeat, friendly, straightforward, and accessible, the book is both helpful and encouraging.
Some of the advice may not seem profound--most of us know to be nice to support staff and many of us know which water glass at a formal dinner is ours--but you are bound to learn a few new things. Considering how much is at stake, it probably isn't a bad idea to review even some of the basics either.
I also think the book helped me secure my summer clerkship--especially the discussions of the economics of law firms and the insights into how hiring partners think.
