I'm finding my torts class difficult at times, so I'm glad to have this book for my text. It has a lot of examples to illustrate each concept, which is helping me grasp all the ideas pretty well. Also, the book is not nearly as expensive as a lot of textbooks, so I feel I'm getting my money's worth out of it.             Black's Law Dictionary, Eighth Edition (Black's Law Dictionary (Standard Edition))36 reviews Thomson West, 2004 a home library must If you do legal work at home, this dictionary is essential to have there. As a law student, I have unlimited access to the Westlaw version of Black's, but there are a great deal of missing entries in that format. I have literally never tried to look up a word in the hardbound version without finding it--not so with the online or pocket versions. It is also an excellent citation source for basic ...             The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court138 reviews Jeffrey Toobin Doubleday, 2007 The Nine This is a fascinating, thought-provoking book which should be required reading for any civics or political science student.

It seems incomprehensible, not long ago, that this book did not exist! The information accumulated and distributed in this book is priceless. Many law-thought exercises, a challenging read for the mind but not tiring or boring when taken in chunks. If you're going to law school or are in it right now, and haven't read this, you certainly will regret it!             10 More Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests (Lsat Series) (Lsat Series)42 reviews Law School Admission Council Law School Admission Council, 2007 Great study aid!

Garner Thomson West, 2008 A Low-Cost Legal Education! I'm no attorney, but I am preparing a Small-Claims Court case involving $500. Admittedly about as far from the Supreme Court (Justice Scalia) as you can get, but still the same general idea. "Making Your Case" provided an excellent set of ideas for both structuring my presentation and keeping in mind in any ensuing arguments. Most of the book is intended for real attorneys, and my impression ...             Quicken Willmaker Plus 2008 Edition: Estate Planning Essentials (Book with CD-ROM)50 reviews Editors of Nolo NOLO, 2007 WillMaker Plus The WillMaker Plus was deffinately a good investment.

Glannon Aspen Publishers, 2006 One of the best investments I made my 1L year This is by far one of the best supplements out there. It really explains everything and illustrates the material with great examples followed by explanations that are clear and concise. I would not recommend taking Civil Procedure without this book. However, one caveat: this book may not cover all of the material in your Civ Pro class. Off the top of my head, I know it is missing chapters ...             Succeeding in Law School1 review Herbert N.

I finished reading the book before the ...             How Judges Think9 reviews Richard A. Posner Harvard University Press, 2008 Brlliant and fun analysis of how judges actually decide cases This man is *cold*. Fortunately for the reader, it is this icy wit that makes reading Posner's books such a joy. Watch how he rips into inconsistencies: 'In discussing a case that invalidated the exclusion of homosexuals from the military, Beatty approvingly remarks that the court "noted the lack of `concrete' and `actual or significant' evidence that allowing gay men to enlist in the armed ...             Legal Writing in Plain English: A Text With Exercises21 reviews Bryan A. Garner University Of Chicago Press, 2001 Excellent Simply put, this is a handy writing guide for lawyers. Just casually flipping through this book for a few minutes will make you a better writer. For example, I especially like the lists, which give you substitutes for legalese or summarize styles that Judges like. Briefly reading through this book taught me more than I learned in an entire semester of Legal Research & Writing. I highly ...             Mosby's Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing & Health Professions15 reviews Mosby Mosby, 2005 A must have, I am a physical therapy graduate student, and I have used this book extensively since I purchased it.

Although the authors do not integrate the thinking in the ten books below, I am totally, deeply, impressed by their intelligence, knowledge, and good intention. They set out to develop understanding in five areas: 1. What State needs to do 2. How international community can help 3.
