Summary: Legal Surreality
Review: "The Law School Trip" is one of the funniest books I have read in years. As a law student, I found Prof. McClurgs unique look at law school to be one of the funniest versions, and one of the truest versions, of Law School ever. The sheer absurdity of the book expresses the seperate world that exists at a Law School. If you are not a law student, fear not! This book can be read, appreciated and guffawed over by anyone. Everything is covered in this book. It begins with reasons to go to Law School and continues through the kinds of Professors to meet, the class to take, and beyond! This is a wonderful encapsulation of the ups, downs and the absolute craziness of Law School. Highly recommended.

Summary: You'll laugh out loud!
Review: A must for anyone who has ever thought about going to law school (which, as the author reminds us, is just about everyone.) McClurg must be the funniest law professor around. And there's a kernel of truth in just about everything he says. McClurg is dead on in describing types of law professors (including "The Legend," "The Radical Feminist," and "The Strange Creature from Outer Space.") He can make the deadliest dull (and most famous) cases studied in the first year of law school seem funny. And McClurg's suggested improvements to actual product warnings are absolutely hysterical. It's quite an accomplishment to make me, a lawyer, laugh out loud. Read the book and you will too.

Summary: Entirely too accurate
Review: A must read for all law students.

Summary: not funny at all
Review: a person does not have any humor tried hard to be humorous.
terrible book, and insane price, double spaced text, only 200 pages and charge for 23 dollars, a bad book, by all means.

Summary: Uproarious
Review: As a lawyer, one rarely laughs out loud for any purpose, much less while reading a book. McClurg's book changes this as he reminds you of the ludicrous trial traipsed by us all. If you do not laugh while reading this book you are either dead or never went to law school.

Summary: Hilarious, yet true to life
Review: As a staff member in a prominent law school, I have seen it all. McClurg's anecdotes and examples ARE true to life. His twist has made me laugh out loud at work while reading it, much to the chagrin of fellow employees and faculty members.Often I have threatened to "write a book about this place". McClurg's sense of realism, coupled with his wondrous sense of humour, make the truth about law school much more palatable. My hat's off to you, McClurg!...

Summary: Highest Marks from Prof. McClurg's Student
Review: I am a 3rd year law student at the Univ. of Arkansas at Little Rock, and I had the privilege of taking Torts I and II from Professor McClurg (a.k.a. "Tort Man") as a 1L. Most of the reviewers so far have made it clear how gut-wrenchingly funny this book is. I wanted to point out how helpful it is, as well. You wouldn't want to use this book to prepare for your Torts final (unless you're in McClurg's class). Nonetheless, Tort Man uses humor in his class and in this book to offer insight and perspective on the law school -- and law practice -- experience. Read it and laugh out loud.
Professor, if you happen to read this, thank you for leaving us this legacy. Hope you're having a blast in Florida. They are lucky to get you.
