Getting to Maybe	Getting to Maybe is primarily a book about how to take - and excel at - law school exams. For this reason, its target audience is entering and first-year law students. This book goes well beyond acing exams, though, and delves into how the law itself works and evolves: that is, how to think like a lawyer, a judge, or a legislator. I feel that this book has helped me develop a winning mindset, as I enter law school.

If you only read one book before applying to law school, this should be it.
