Hi all, I am starting law school in fall of 2024! Over the next 6 months or so, I am going to work and prepare for law school. I am looking for recommendations on what intro law books, textbooks, lessons, or topics would be helpful to read and study before starting school. Any and all recommendations are appreciated! Thanks.

Nothing. Enjoy your free time. Everything you need to learn you’ll learn at school (and in supplements when studying for finals.)

There’s a book called Think Like a Lawyer and another called 1000 Days to Pass the Bar.

We had to read these either in my orientation or skills class. I hope they help you!

I keep hearing that Booth’s MBA program is rigorous (maybe the most rigorous out of M7). That said, how much more work are students expected to do compared to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, etc.? I don’t know if this is an outdated opinion, considering a lot of MBAs are very demanding. Booth is personally my top choice for having a flexible curriculum & 2-3 days of classes. But I really want to know what to expect around the “rigorous” label. Does it mean I’ll be buried in coursework the other 2-3 days?
