Funny quick read.

Product Warning: This book may help save your mental health, although it will inflame your funny bone. Stressed to the max by the heavy reading, Socratic method, and other burdens of starting law school? Buy this book! Laughter really is the best medicine and this book provides plenty of it. Although it contains a lot of insights -- sometimes subtly disguised -- it's primarily a hilarious parody of the esteemed institution we call legal education.

Sing along with Law's Greatest Hits. Meet Strange Creatures from Outer Space and other law faculty. Learn to survive the Socratic method with treatable injuries. And be prepared to hold your sides and laugh out loud the whole way.

"The Law School Trip" isn't a typical "how to succeed in law school" book. It's more like a "how to succeed in keeping your sanity while freaking out about law school" book. But it's not just for law students. Every lawyer who has suffered through four years of law school needs to read this book.

This is the only pre-law school book anyone should ever read. Ignore all of that How to Ace Your First Year of Law School: Confidential Insights from Real Lawyers Who Aced Every Law School Class and Blah Blah Blah. As far as I'm concerned, none of the information they provide makes any sense until it is too late. However, a healthy perspective on the "learning process" that takes place during those three years is priceless. This book is funny and frighteningly accurate.
