 Law school is like no other educational experience you have had in the past. During your first year, you will be exposed to a new way of acquiring information, a new way of writing, and a new way of being tested on the information you have learned. Therefore, you may want to read one or more of the resources designed to ease the transition to law school prior to the commencement of classes in August.
