Customer Reviews

Hilarious- and a great gift idea!

This book is a must read for any attorney or law student. McClurg is dead-on with his humor and satire. But he doesn't just make fun of the profession- his humor is done with an obvious passion and respect for the world of law- which makes it all the more enjoyable for those of us who have chosen this crazy world for life!! If you have any lawyers or law students in your family, they will love this book as a gift. It's short and easy to read and will definitely put a smile on the face of anyone who has been to law school.

Pure Delight

This book is a keeper! Since most attempts at written humor fail, it was a rare and wonderful excursion into laughdom to read Andrew McClurg's "The Law School Trip". Professor McClurg may be the next Dave Barry. Whether he's giving instructions on preparing yourself for the Socratic method or analyzing the "Horribly Evil Bluebook," McClurg's unique outlook on law school life is guaranteed to make you to make you laugh out loud. Five stars and two thumbs up!"

Great giggles

This book should be required material for every first year law student, although they will appreciate it in an entirely different way when they've got a semester or two behind them. There was not a single page of this book that didn't make me laugh out loud. If you are thinking about going to law school (and who isn't?), a law school student, a lawyer, or someone who is related to a person in one of those categories, buy this book!

You'll laugh out loud!

A must for anyone who has ever thought about going to law school (which, as the author reminds us, is just about everyone.) McClurg must be the funniest law professor around. And there's a kernel of truth in just about everything he says. McClurg is dead on in describing types of law professors (including "The Legend," "The Radical Feminist," and "The Strange Creature from Outer Space.") He can make the deadliest dull (and most famous) cases studied in the first year of law school seem funny. And McClurg's suggested improvements to actual product warnings are absolutely hysterical. It's quite an accomplishment to make me, a lawyer, laugh out loud. Read the book and you will too.
