Gershowitz's A Short & Happy Guide to Acing Your 1L Year
Description
The book provides a concise overview of the legal doctrines you will learn in your 1L classes—Criminal Law, Torts, Civil Procedure, Contracts, Constitutional Law, Property, and Legal Research and Writing. It then explains how to succeed in each of those classes by showing you the way to prepare for class, how your professor will use the Socratic Method, what study guides to buy and not buy, how to outline your classes, and the strategies for successfully taking your exams. In this book, Professor Gershowitz (a ten-time teaching award winner) shows you the forest so that you will not get lost in the trees.
