Many students know little about what law school is like or how it differs from undergraduate study, and this book corrects common myths about graduating law school and life after passing the bar. This brief primer is a nuts-and-bolts analysis of what it is really like to go into the legal profession, from start to finish, giving students considering a career in law a realistic overview of their potential legal careers. 606 $aPractice of law$zUnited States 606 $aLaw$xVocational guidance$zUnited States 606 $aLawyers$zUnited States 615 0$aPractice of law 615 0$aLaw$xVocational guidance 615 0$aLawyers 676 $a340.023/73 700 $aBanks$b Christopher P.$01181034 801 0$bCaToSAGE 801 1$bCaToSAGE 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812006103321 996 $aThe American legal profession$93951629 997 $aUNINA
