The Secrets to Success in Law School - A Professor's Strategies for Straight A's (Paperback)

A must for every present or future law student. Only a professor of law (like the author) could offer such valuable insider information on what instructors demand in class and on exams.

Professor Silver breaks down each variety of exam so the student knows what to expect on true/false, multiple choice, and short answer tests, and how to write precisely what teachers are looking for on essay questions.

Students learn nuts-and-bolts tips on how to get around the incomprehensible babble found in law texts and in classroom lectures. Barristers-to-be learn to master the methods of studying better, not more, for classes and exams, proving once again that it's one's study smarts -- not one's I.Q. -- that aces exams and scores better GPAs.

Readers receive easy-to-follow guidelines for getting straight A's in such complex disciplines as: civil procedures, criminal law, contracts, torts, and property cases.

Without simplistic formulas or vocabulary lists, Secrets to Success offers law students the most efficient strategies for reading a case, briefing a case, reporting in class, performing in moot court, and spotting & avoiding exam temptation traps
