With over 25% new material, this is a must-have guidebook for students who are about to embark on the three-year odyssey of law school.

This isn't the advice of graying professors or battle-scarred practitioners decades removed from the experience -- Miller has assembled a panel of recent graduates to act as "mentors," all of whom are perfectly positioned to shed light on what law school is like today. Together, they demystify the life-altering thrill ride that defines an American legal education by providing a comprehensive, blow-by-blow account of what to expect, including:

• Taking the LSAT;
• Securing financial aid;
• Navigating the notorious first semester;
• Taking exams;
• Tackling the bar.

This new revised edition includes updates on the economy, salary ranges, interviews with hiring partners at law firms and directors of law school admissions, new student mentors, and much more.
