Law School For Back-Benchers

Ward's book, which purports to guide readers through law school, is a well-conceived and very funny put-on. Ward leads the reader through the LSAT, the law school application, classes, law school exams, the bar exam, and first attempts to find a job. Particularly fun are Ward's depictions of law students by type, complete with photographs. What makes this book funny, of course, is that there is a ring -- and a bite -- of truth to what Ward writes. His humor might go over the head of new or prospective law students, but anyone who has been through at least one set of law-school exams should appreciate it. If you started law school out as an idealist and you're now an embittered cynic, this is the book for you. If you started out in law school but ended up in truck-driving school, Ward will remind you that you may have come out ahead. And if you're the spouse or partner of a law student and you're sick of law students, this book will serve as good entertainment during the next (boring) law school party. You may as well laugh, right?
