Description
“A lovely book…it must be read by any person who has ever contemplated going to law school. Or any person who has ever worried about being human.”—The New York Times
It was once a year of terrors and triumphs, of depressions and elations, of compulsive work, pitiless competition, and, in any case, mass hysteria. It was once Scott Turow’s first year on the oldest, biggest, most esteemed center of legal education in the USA. Turow’s experiences at Harvard Law School, where freshmen are dubbed One Ls, parallel those of first-year law students all over the place. His gripping account of this critical, formative year within the life of a lawyer is as suspenseful, said The New York Times, as “probably the most absorbing of thrillers.”
