Summary: A Solid Rhetoric for Law School Exams
Review: I'm a 1L and our first semester grades came out today. I am thanking Getting To Maybe, along with my hard work, for my GPA. This book will tell you HOW to answer exam questions so you don't waste time and points on the exam writing stuff you don't have to. I highly recommend Getting To Maybe, attending class, carefully reading your assignments, and judicious use of study aids to reinforce not replace your readings, to get those A's you deserve.:) And BRIEF first semester, at least for most of it: it really does help get the structure and legalese of judicial opinions into your head. Good luck everyone!!!! -Amy

Summary: Law School Exams
Review: If you have already taken a few law school exams, or are about to take your first law school exam, this book will be extremely helpful. It is unlike any of the hornbooks or study aids out there. While it is not class specific, it will explain in clear and precise terms what you should do to understand the themes and concepts in all of your classes. It will enhance your understanding of why your professor went into one specific area and explain what you should have gotten out of the class so that you can be better prepared for the next class.

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: If you have taken a class on legal reasoning or even a basic logic class, you do not need this book. On the other hand, it is very readable and will quell some of your law school stress. You may be better off studying. For a good law school prep book look for Jeff Deaver's guide.

Summary: Does the word "Duh" mean anything to you?
Review: If your first-year professors don't tell you everything in this book before your first set of exams, you should transfer. In fact, I'm a 3L, and sometimes the "insights" in this book are included in the instructions on the first page of the exam. This book is useful only for people with no intention of going to law school who are nonetheless interested in what law school exams are like.

Summary: Required reading!
Review: No other essay-writing guide can compare in substance or style to this remarkable book. Writing with a rare combination of clarity and creativity, its authors carefully methodize law school essay writing without trivializing the difficulties of those students for whom good essay writing remains persistently elusive. As a former student of Michael Fischl, I am not surprised that his eloquence and charisma extend to his written words as well as his lectures. --written by someone who has been there, done that, and has even read all the available law school test taking guides

Summary: Impressive rigor
Review: The aim of this book is to help current law students perform well on law school exams. Law school exams are famously ambiguous; hence the title of the book. The title of the book is a play on the title of a classic book about the art of negotiation, called _Getting to Yes_. Implicit in _Getting to Maybe_ is that, unlike a negotiation, performance on law school exams does not require an exact answer or resolution. The method by which these law professors explain this concept is especially interesting. In connection with their academic research, they propose to break down law school exams into small components, and thoroughly analyze those components. The result is a very substantial and comprehensive analysis of the structure of law school exams and the skills required to do well on these exams. You may be asking how the professors purport to explain _all_ law school exams, for surely there are professors for whose exams these methods will not work. These professors make the interesting point that in the United States, law education is fairly uniform, and, therefore, the skills required to perform well on law school exams are fairly uniform, as well. I read this book prior to starting law school. I found it useful primarily because I have read a number of other books about legal reasoning and the study of law and the law school experience that are more basic than the material in this book. If this is your first book regarding the study of law or peformance in law school, I would advise putting it aside in favor of a book offering a broader overview of law, its study, and law school.
