So you want to go to law school. Concerned about the LSAT? How to pay for tuition? Where you'll end up spending those three long years? The test-prep coaches at the Princeton Review have seen it all and lay out the answers to your every question in The Best Law Schools 1999 Edition. Chapters on Admissions, Women in Law School, Money Matters, and (of course) Law School Profiles compose a well-organized guide to the often hairy process of choosing and gaining admittance to the right school for you.
All 175 ABA-approved (and 19 CBA-approved) schools are listed alphabetically, with easily accessible information on students, admissions, costs, and student survey results. Schools are also listed regionally and ranked according to such criteria as quality of life, minority representation among students and faculty, and placement within different fields. There is also plenty of food for thought about nontraditional legal education and careers for those mavericks who want to go their own way. If you dream of being a lawyer, this is the book for you. --Rob Lightner
