Most Law School Advice Is Bullsh*t: Why the Rankings Are Wrong, The Right Way to Pick a Law School, What to Do Once You Get There, and How to Graduate with Your Dream Job - Softcover
Synopsis
If you are a law school applicant, you can follow the status quo advice about how to pick a law school. This involves trusting the U.S. News and World Report Law School Rankings and going to the "best" law school you get into, even if it means taking on $150,000 in debt to do so. And even if you can't articulate the difference between the law school experience at Harvard, Howard, Houston, or Hofstra. If you're a law student, you can follow the status quo advice hawked by your law school and accepted by virtually everyone around you. That advice says that the best way to do law school is to study as much as you can, pursue a high GPA and other academic accolades, and interview with the most prestigious firms across the country. I have some bad news. If you follow either of these patterns of advice, you are risking not just failure, but failure in a catastrophic sense. For decades to come. Both these schools of thought are false, misleading, dangerous, and worst of all, enticing to the type of person who can get into law school. Which is why so many law school applicants and law students follow it blindly. Often they have no other lens through which to view the law school experience.Don't do that. Read what Andy Brink has to say instead. In Most Law School Advice Is Bullsh*t, attorney and writer Andy Brink presents a new way to experience law school. Andy takes you on his law school journey - from confused applicant in 2006, to frustrated and listless prestigious law school attendee, to his current iteration as practicing attorney in 2018 - and points out the mistakes he made along the way. Mistakes you don't have to replicate. Perhaps more importantly, Andy illustrates where legal education gets it wrong, and how you as a consumer can prepare for these shortcomings, and sidestep them to your benefit. Most law school advice is very bad advice. So don't follow it. The other side to the coin is that if you find honest and truthful advice about how to pick a law school and what do to do once you get there, you will be light years ahead of every other law student in the country. That's what you want. That's what Andy Brink wants. That's what you get if you read this book and follow the advice in it.Most law school advice is bullsh*t, so brush it off. Don't listen to it. Find the truth you've always hungered for in the pages of this innovative take on the law school experience. Visit www.andybrink.me for more information.
