Summary: Just Starting Law School
Review: I already feel Miller's book has been a tremendous help to me. Law School can be kind of intimidating, but in reading Law School Confidential over the summer, I'm confident I have a study plan that will help me succeed. At the very least, it's taken some of the anxiety away.

Summary: 2L Looking Back - Great Book
Review: Law School Confidential (LSC) is a great book. I did not know anything prior to going to law school. By reading this book it helped me reduce my anxiety by giving great tips on how to study. Also, LSC gave you tips on how to outline, brief, and highlight, a must for law school. One of the most valuable things LSC provided was what study aids to purchase. This is very helpful information for a 1L. Mr. Miller gives a list of study aids for all 1L courses that was decided upon my the group of peers helping him write the book. I just finished my 1L year at a tier 4 school and dreamed of transferring to a top 25 law school. This book helped me to finish in the top 5% of my class and make my dream become reality. If you want good grades, or at least a head start on how to go about the studying process, I would suggest buying this book. Even though LSC is written by people from the top law schools, it still provides useful information to students attending lower-tiered law schools. The key to law school is being better prepared than others, since grades are based on a curve. I went to a school where the curve was harsh, but A's and B's without C's is possible. LSC gives you hope.

Furthermore, this book provides crucial information to landing great summer clerkships with both firms and judges. Landing great clerkships is the key to your success and is an important area to consider prior to going to law school. Most firms fill their summer positions by November so planning ahead is the key. LSC will prepare you for almost every difficulty you will encounter.

I definitely recommend this book. And no, I am not getting paid to write this opinion. I just thought I would help other law students beginning on their journey. Remember preparation is everything and this book will definitely help you in that category.
