One L : The Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School
reviewed on + 1775 more book reviews


An English instructor decides to attend Harvard Law and documents his first, difficult year at the end of the Carter Administration. Even then there were too many attorneys being trained, but Harvard is among the handful of prestigious law schools that promise to attract firms interested firms seeking newly minted lawyers. Mr. Turow finds his fellow students to have widely varied backgrounds and also to be very outgoing people.
I read only twenty pages or so on the bus and the dogeared page of a previous owner of the book was maybe page 28.
