Books & Reading

In How to Get Into the Top Law Schools, Richard Montauk delivers just what the title promises. Of course, there is no substitute for a good GPA, stellar LSAT score, and raving recommendations, in terms of getting noticed in a stack of applications. Still, this book tells you how to manage the entire application process to make the most of all its components; it contains advice on applications themselves, recommendations, LSAT prep, fixing a poor academic record, contacting admissions officers, personal statements, and much, much more.

I used much of the information Montauk offers, and can testify that it played an important role in gaining admission and scholarship offers at most of the top 10 law schools. This is a must-read for law school applicants.
