"Law School for Grown-Ups" is a succinct, practical, and somewhat irreverent guide to law school education. This guide’s focus is narrower than most guides. It is a project manual on the core elements of law school: class preparation, class participation, course outlining, and final exams. It also includes advice on dealing with the insecurity, hype, and paranoia that run rampant in the law school culture.
The author believes that too much of the advice presented in other law school guides is intuitive to the target reader of this guide – grown-ups. Much of this guide's advice goes against conventional wisdom found in other guides about law school success.
WARNING: This guide is succinct and does not contain any "feel-good" advice. At approximately 7,600 words in length, it is much shorter than other law school guides. The author has provided his advice on methods that worked well for him in law school - nothing more.
Jack Roberts is a corporate and real estate attorney practicing in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Before attending law school, Jack was a Russian linguist and team leader of a Tactical Intelligence Collection team in the United States Army and a technology consultant in the automotive industry.
Jack enjoys fly fishing the trout streams of Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Fortunately for his clients – and the trout – Jack’s legal skills are stronger than his fishing skills. Jack lives in Saint Paul with his wife and daughter.
