Excerpt from Brief Making and the Use of Law Books The first edition of "Brief Making," which was published in 1906, marked an epoch in the history of legal education and literature. Prior to that time very few law schools had attempted to give any systematic instruction in the art of brief making. The general excellence of the new book influenced a number of the leading law schools to adopt it as a text-book, and led others to establish courses of instruction founded on and following its general plan. This use of the book during the three years that have elapsed since its publication has, of course, been fruitful in suggestions for improvement. These suggestions have been supplemented by others developed from the editor's experience as a lecturer on Legal Bibliography and The Use of Law Books in the leading law schools of the country. In the present edition a large amount of new material has been added, and the general arrangement has been altered to accord with the views of teachers and practitioners whose use of the book has qualified them to judge of the needs of the student and of the profession. Those parts of the original edition which treated of the subjects "Where to Find the Law" and "How to Find the Law" have been entirely rewritten. In compliance with the desire of many instructors there has been added a new part on "The Trial Brief." It is believed that the new edition is well adapted to use as a text-book on brief making and as the foundation for a complete course of instruction in legal bibliography. The aim has been to make it suggestive and adapted to the methods of all teachers of the practical side of the law.

Offers one hundred rules that every first year law student should live by “Dear Law Student: Here’s the truth. You belong here.” Law professor Andrew Ferguson and former student Jonathan Yusef Newton open with this statement of reassurance in The Law of Law School. As all former law students and current lawyers can attest, law school is disorienting, overwhelming, and difficult. Unlike other educational institutions, law school is not set up simply to teach a subject. Instead, the first year of law school is set up to teach a skill set and way of thinking, which you then apply to do the work of lawyering. What most first-year students don’t realize is that law school has a code, an unwritten rulebook of decisions and traditions that must be understood in order to succeed. The Law of Law School endeavors to distill this common wisdom into one hundred easily digestible rules. From self-care tips such as “Remove the Drama,” to studying tricks like “Prepare for Class like an Appellate Argument,” topics on exams, classroom expectations, outlining, case briefing, professors, and mental health are all broken down into the rules that form the hidden law of law school. If you don’t have a network of lawyers in your family and are unsure of what to expect, Ferguson and Newton offer a forthright guide to navigating the expectations, challenges, and secrets to first-year success. Jonathan Newton was himself such a non-traditional student and now shares his story as a pathway to a meaningful and positive law school experience. This book is perfect for the soon-to-be law school student or the current 1L and speaks to the growing number of first-generation law students in America.
