Law school’s highly pressurized, super-competitive atmosphere often leaves students stressed out and confused, especially in their first year. Balancing life and schoolwork, passing the bar, and landing a job are challenges that students often need help facing. In Law School For Dummies, former law school student Rebecca Fae Greene uses straight talk, sound advice, and gentle humor to help students sort through the swamp of coursework and focus on what’s important–all while maintaining a life. She also offers rare insight on the law school experience for women, minorities, non-traditional, and non-Ivy League students.\u003c\/p\u003e  Introduction.  \u003cp\u003ePart I: Considering Law School.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Exploring the Realities of Law School.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Appreciating Diversity in Your Law School Class.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Choosing the Best Law School for You.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Using Battle-Tested Application Strategies to Succeed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart II: Getting What You Came for: The Law School Experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Getting Into the 1L Groove.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Surviving Typical First-Year Classes: A Crash Course.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff: Keeping Academics in Perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart III: Studying Law: Secret Techniques That Really Work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Thinking and Talking like a Lawyer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Romancing the Tome: Making the Most of Your Study Time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Assembling Your Personal Study Aid Arsenal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11: The Longest Three Hours of Your Life: Acing Your Law School Exams.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart IV: You’re Halfway There (2Ls and 3Ls).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12: One from Column A: Choosing Your Courses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13: Not a Moot Point: Getting Involved in Law School.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart V: Preparing for Your Future.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Landing Your Perfect Summer Job.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15: Getting the Lowdown on Careers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 16: Narrowing Your Focus: Choosing an Area of Practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 17: Thinking Outside the Box: Considering Alternative Legal Careers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart VI: Wrapping Up Your Law School Career.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 18: In a Class of Its Own: Preparing for the Bar Exam.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 19: Moving toward Graduation — and Beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart VII: The Part of Tens.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 20: Ten Plus User-Friendly Law School Resources.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 21: Ten Best and Worst Things about Law School.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 22: Ten Little-Known Law School Secrets.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRebecca Greene, JD,\u003c\/b\u003e is a May 2003 graduate of Indiana University School of Law–Bloomington.
