Review
""Steven Sedberrys
Law School Labyrinth should be required reading for anyone who is about to enter law school. The author unlocks many of the mysteries waiting to confound unsuspecting first year law students.""
David B. Siegel, Retired Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Restructuring Officer, W. R. Grace & Co. ""For students who are feeling overwhelmed, this is an excellent guide and a good analysis of law school with some good tricks to succeed in law school. The book has useful tips on how to avoid spending precious time on the conventional competitive aspects of law school and more on what matters such as doing well on tests, the bar, and being a good lawyer. The book offers a study method that attempts to level the playing field even for those students who are intimidated by larger personalities. It has interesting anecdotal examples that bring down to earth the people, teachers and tests and scores that law students encounter during their academic years."" Brooklyn Law School Library Blog
