A good read for entering 1Ls, overhyped a little though. Pros- Great intro for the kinds of classes, professors and atmosphere to expect at the beginning of your term. Language style was conversational most of the time and easy to follow. Cons- Some references are obviously outdated and no longer relevant. Anything to do with cost, or even grades is woefully irrelevant today. Not the authors fault, just mentioning it to future readers. I'd give it a B-, 3.5/5 stars
I read this book years ago before deciding on a career. I also read "Year of the intern" and "Intern Blues" both of which are great for medical school prospects. "One L" if true, depicts the first year of Harvard law school. It describes a year of pain and a rare level of covert competetion such as yanking pages from library texts and guilt by the protagonist for going to Thanksgiving dinner instead of reading and preparing for impossible assignments. Turrow tells a pretty good story. He describes the characters well. Like I mentioned, if it is true, it's a pretty kick-butt story of the over privledged class in Harvard law school. Read "Intern Blues" and "Year of the intern" and I guarantee you will NEVER trust a hospital after dark! One of those is pseudo biographical and one is taken from the writers notes. Fun stuff and all three are page turning eye openers!Read full review
This book tells a great story about a Harvard Law student's first year at law school (1L). I would recommend this book to anyone who is considering attending law school. Also, family members of law students or future law students may find it enlightening as to what their loved one will be going through.
Great book; it's a timeless classic. A good read for fans of One L.
