Hein & Co., Inc.] NEW from HEIN - Acing Your First Year of Law School Message-ID: ACING YOUR FIRST YEAR OF LAW SCHOOL The Ten Steps to Success You Won't Learn in Class 2nd Edition By: Shana Connell Noyes & Henry S. Noyes "Acing Your First Year provides a unique introduction to the study of law, an introduction that will undoubtedly make a difference. This is the book I wish I had when I started law school." - Gerald L. Shargel, criminal defense attorney to John Gotti Jr. "Acing Your First Year of Law School strongly supports your making the law review, your summa cum laude standing and your lifetime success as an outstanding lawyer." - The Honorable John Minor Wisdom First published in 1999, Acing Your First Year of Law School has become one of the bestselling law school preparation books of all time. The pre-law advisory office of numerous universities, a variety of legal organizations, law school admissions consultant services, and law school student organizations have recommended it. It also has been favorably discussed many times on various law school discussion boards and blogs. Why? Because it helped tens of thousands of law students ace their first year of law school. Every law student will tell you that the first year is the most important and the most frustrating. Law professors do not teach students the law, instead they leave students on their own to figure out the "answer" from a series of questions. The others offer a manual that teaches first year law students the ten basic skills needed to study law. This second edition includes a preface that addresses the Socratic Method of teaching and provides seven helpful ways to avoid falling victim to it. These suggestions include: * Figuring out where you're going to live * Figuring out how you will get to school * Do not work during your first year The authors of Acing Your First Year of Law School, Shana and Henry Noyes both made law review based on their first year grades. In 1994 they both graduated in the top three percent of their classes, Shana from Tulane Law School and Henry from Indian University, Bloomington School of Law. They both earned judicial clerkships with federal appellate judges and went on to join a prominent law firm. 1 volume..........................................................................................$22.00 Item: 62524 ISBN: 978-0-08377-1410-3 Pages: xxiv, 162p.
