Summary: Disappointing
Review: I was hoping for something funny - this is mostly silly and sophomoric. I agree it is somewhat like Dave Barry. I imagine if you really like Dave Barry, you'd like this book. I was hoping for something different - not such a silly exaggerated view.

Summary: Mandatory reading for all law students!
Review: Mr. McClurg has written a truly amazing book that tells you what being in lawschool is all about. From just thinking about getting a law degree to getting that high paying job all us law students dream about, Andrew lays it all out for you. The book is so accurate, which is why it is so entertaining. Myself a 1L at the Cecil C. Humphries School of Law at the Univ of Memphis in Tennessee think that this book should be mandatory reading along side Gilbert's Torts, Farnsworth's Contracts and even the EVIL Bluebook!

Summary: Very funny book and everything came true
Review: Of all the books that I gave my mom to read, this is the only one that caused her to call me and tell me how hard she laughed.

Summary: A different take on the law school experience...
Review: Product Warning: This book may help save your mental health, although it will inflame your funny bone. Stressed to the max by the heavy reading, Socratic method, and other burdens of starting law school? Buy this book! Laughter really is the best medicine and this book provides plenty of it. I read one Amazon customer review of The Law School Trip that compared it to the "how to succeed in law school" books, but it's not that kind of book. Although it contains a lot of insights -- sometimes subtly disguised -- it's primarily a hilarious parody of the esteemed institution we call legal education. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Summary: Lawyers in love. . . with laughter
Review: Since I'm not an attorney, nor do I plan on ever being one, I didn't pick up Andrew J. McClurg's ``The Law School Trip'' looking for secrets about how to get a law degree. I picked it up because a friend, on occasion, sends me copies of columns that McClurg writes for the ABA journal. They make me laugh, as did this book. And one of McClurg's best bits, his list of the ``top five subjects of conversation most loved by law professors,'' is both funny and good advice for law students. Compliment the professor's kid even if the tyke is ``as ugly as a moth,'' he advises. You won't regret it. In a like manner, anyone with an appreciation for intelligent humor won't regret purchasing this book.

Summary: Hilarious- and a great gift idea!
Review: This book is a must read for any attorney or law student. McClurg is dead-on with his humor and satire. But he doesn't just make fun of the profession- his humor is done with an obvious passion and respect for the world of law- which makes it all the more enjoyable for those of us who have chosen this crazy world for life!! If you have any lawyers or law students in your family, they will love this book as a gift. It's short and easy to read and will definitely put a smile on the face of anyone who has been to law school.
