Hit the road running when you arrive at law school. 1L of a Ride: A Well-Traveled Professor's Roadmap to Success in the First Year of Law School (West 2009). 1L of a Ride is the only book that provides a complete step-by-step navigational tool for achieving both academic and emotional success in law school's wondrous first year. Here are a few excerpts from reviews: “As a pre-law adviser I've read many books about preparing for law school or what to expect in the first year. This is by far the best!” “If you read 1L of a Ride, trust me, you will have an edge over any student who hasn't read it.” “This book should be required by law schools as a guide to success. I could not have made it through without it!” “Law schools should provide a copy of this book with each acceptance letter.” “This book is a tour de force …. If you want to do more than survive - if you want to thrive - in law school, buy this book.” Speaking of the book, I've been blogging about it for the Center for Engaged Law-Learning (CELL) blog.

Justice Michael Musmanno was one of the greatest opinion writers in U.S. judicial history, but he went over the edge in his evaluation of Henry Miller's classic novel, The Tropic of Cancer, calling it "the stagnant bilge of the slimiest mudscow, the putrescent corruption of the most noisome dump pile, the dreggiest filth in the deepest morass of putrefaction."
