Reading List for Entering Law Students
The books I read the summer before I attended law school had a profound effect on my law school experience. My favorites were The Bramble Bush: On Our Law and Its Study by Karl Llewellyn; Gideon’s Trumpet by Anthony Lewis; To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee; and One L: The Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School by Scott Turow.
