The Absolute Law School Bible
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
If you want objective reviews of law schools (but only the ABA-approved law schools), this book is the ultimate Bible to them. In my opinion, in your search for a law school, you need to have this book as a reference. It describes the specialties of different schools, and the grid comparing your chances of admission against your LSAT and GPA is priceless. However, many top-ranked schools do not provide that information, so if you're hoping to determine your chances at Harvard or Columbia, guess again. You'll just have to apply to find out! It's also useful in that it provides e-mail addresses, snail mail addresses, phone numbers and websites for all of the schools. That is a handy way to request catalogs and other information.

Though this book will not give you the same crucial, informal advice that guides written by students will, it offers invaluable information about your chances of getting into law school. Most of the law schools in this book have included admission indices, which is a cross-referenced chart that details which students get in and which do not. By using your LSAT score and your cumulative gpa, you can tell how many people with your credentials applied to a certain law school, and how many of them got in (such as, 2/13 --2 out of 13 applicants-- or 39/39).
