It is defintely an interesting book and I enjoyed reading it in the context of actually being a 1L. I am currently a summer law student at a large national firm and it would be interesting to see if someone ever decided to write an autobiographical opionion about this (Grisham has written a few, but not in the same sense). I am also excited to head back to school and experience being a 2L. Law school is a journey and I am looking forward to the next step!<br /><br />mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11817248933810004592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-34731443266999346682012-08-16T13:11:55.010-06:002012-08-16T13:11:55.010-06:00Margot, Jose Ignacio and Maxine: Thank you for com...Margot, Jose Ignacio and Maxine: Thank you for commenting on Micahel's post and kind words.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-28916770020632426862012-08-16T03:44:47.161-06:002012-08-16T03:44:47.161-06:00Lovely guest post.

I am glad to read about the gender balance but the "higher echelon" issue is the same, still, in many professions, sadly (certainly in the one I know about, scientific research).Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-2499335638191479862012-08-16T00:23:05.585-06:002012-08-16T00:23:05.585-06:00Great idea Bill and a good post as well.

I'm less familiar with law school than I am with other graduate programs so it was very helpful to me to get your perspective. I've found that other graduate programs have also become not only less formal and less Soctratic but also more pragmatic. I'm glad that in a lot of ways Turow captures what it's like to be a first-year law student.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
