Customer Reviews

Very useful and informative book on applying!

Paul's book is really helpful. If you aren't sure what personal experience to write about in your personal statment, Paul discusses how to choose what to write about, which is really useful. He also tells you how to write a good outline so that when you actually have to write the essay, it's not so hard. The advice on letter of recommendations is also very useful. Paul tells you how to choose the right recommenders and how to coach them so that your recommendations will really be an asset to your application. There are also many sample essays which I found very beneficial. For this alone, the book is worth it. I really recommend this book to anyone who's even thinking of applying to law school!

Great help to students!

A helpful book! This book's real value are the excellent sections on starting the writing process and understanding the basic types of questions that law schools ask. There are also separate chapters on secondary essays, like diversity and optional essays and wait list letters and a separate chapter just on recommendation letters.
