Fear Law School No More. It never fails. You get into law school, and there is momentary joy: Im going to law school. Wont mom and dad be proud. The problem is, the joy is just that: momentary. Then it happens. The fear sets in. Im going to Law School. All the mythology about the first year of law school, all the uncertainty about how to approach it, all the psycho-nonsense the whole legal world seems committed to imposing on you, it all sets in. And so most of us go into law school totally bewildered, unsure of our footing, more spooked than Scooby Doo. This book screams into the darkness: No more! You can get a lot of advice from a lot of places about how to do law school. And it will all be the same conventional wisdom. The conventional wisdom is fine, if all you want to do is survive law school. The problem is, however, the conventional wisdom will lead you into the same place as everyone else following it: the big middle of the class. And ending up in the big middle of the class wont get you the job you want. Law School Ninja will tell you how to get on the right side of the curve. The book rejects most of the conventional wisdom and provides a specific strategy for mastering law school. You will find out what really matters in your first year of law school and what doesnt.

Book Description

Based on the latest research, this entertaining, practical guide offers law students a formula for success in school, on the bar exam, and as a practicing attorney. Mastering the law, either as a law student or in practice, becomes much easier if one has a working knowledge of the brain's basic habits. Before you can learn to think like a lawyer, you have to have some idea about how the brain thinks. The first part of this book translates the technical research, explaining learning strategies that work for the brain in law school specifically, and calling out other tactics that are useless (though often popular lures for the misinformed). This book is unique in explaining the science behind the advice and will save you from pursuing tempting shortcuts that will take you in the wrong direction. The second part explores the brain's decision-making processes and cognitive biases. These biases affect the ability to persuade, a necessary skill of the successful lawyer. The book talks about the art and science of framing, the seductive lure of the confirmation and egocentric biases, and the egocentricity of the availability bias. This book uses easily recognizable examples from both law and life to illustrate the potential of these biases to draw humans to mistaken judgments. Understanding these biases is critical to becoming a successful attorney and gaining proficiency in fashioning arguments that appeal to the sometimes quirky processing of the human brain. This book is part of the Context and Practice Series, edited by Michael Hunter Schwartz, Professor of Law and Dean of the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific. Your Brain and Law School was a finalist in the Best Published Self-Help and Psychology category of the 2015 San Diego Book Awards
