| If you have thought of a question about going to/getting in/staying in (etc... ) law school, chances are this book answers it.Later in Life Lawyers is the equivalent to sitting down and picking the brains of those who have "been there, done that." The author weaves priceless real world advice with solid writing direction to create this easy to read fundamental handbook for ANYONE considering law school - not just those who are later in life.
Most of us immediately poll spouses, friends and family before making a huge decision. Face it, if your social circle is anything like mine, you are bound to come up lacking when you begin to pose questions about law school. This book fills the gap between the lack of practical advice and abundance of glossy advertisements for books that guarantee you a smooth law school experience but rarely deliver.
By harvesting thoughtful and insightful answers from [...], Later in Life Lawyers allows you to gain insight from others in a similar situation who share advice from the trenches instead of a lofty commercially orientated perch which is designed to sell books. Organized in a clean, easy-find fashion, I found many tips and tricks I had not even considered before leafing through the book. As a 2L who has hit her share of bumps and bruises, I was able to relate to the integrated postings from the website and found solace from others who had similar negative (and positive!) experiences.
While there are postings from the nontradlaw user forum, the book does not completely rely upon the forum site, and you would lose out on lots of valuable information if you simply posted on the forum without utilizing the book. Besides the solid organization, the writer sews the concepts together in a way that creates a great overall read, not to mention a fundamental tool for all stages of your law school career.
I have no complaints, although I would recommend that you keep your copy close because you are going to refer to it time and time again. I would buy this book for friends or family considering law school since I will not give up my own copy!

| Will it really help boost your RC score? Maybe.I'm going to review this book from the perspective of someone who has already done some LSAT prep and has trouble with reading comprehension because I think that's the kind of person this book appeals to primarily.
There are many reasons why a person may be doing poorly in reading comprehension.
If you had no time limit, would you be able to answer the question? Did you misread the passage? Did you misread the question? Did you comprehend the passage? The answer to these questions will determine where you will be able to gain improvement.
If you are getting questions wrong because you don't really understand what the questions are asking you, then this book will help. This book lays out the question types and helps you understand how to answer them.
However, I find that usually, this isn't most people's problem. For the most part, the difficulty of RC is time management. After the fact, a question like "the passage mentions each of the following EXCEPT" is pretty easy. You have to scan through the passage to see what it mentions and what it doesn't. Pretty easy right?
Well, when you are trying to read the passage AND answer everything in under 9 minutes, it becomes a lot tougher. A lot of gains come from learning to be more efficient in the way you recall information and spend less time going back and forth from passage to questions.
This book isn't bad. But if your primary problem is time management, I think your results with this book will be limited because this isn't what the book focuses on.
I mention that because if you're someone who has been having problems with RC and see this book and think "Yes! This will solve all of my problems", I think you might be disappointed.
Again, that is not to say it's a bad book, but if you're getting 5-6 wrong and want to get it down to 2-3, I'm not convinced this book will get you there. If you are getting 10+ wrong, this book will probably help you.

Great Book to UseThis book is really really good. It goes through all game types. It starts out every section with the game type and goes through IN DEPTH diagrams and psychology of each in 3 or 4 games with 8 typical LSAT questions following each. Then after the explained 3 or 4 LSAT games, it gives you 4 more that you do on your own and they provide semi-lengthy explanations of. At the end you have two practice tests. One that you do before using the book and one that you do after reading the book so that you can see how much you improved by. Very good book. This book was created by a group of Harvard law school graduates. They did an excellent job.

| Product DescriptionThe LSAT is an exam which is full of patterns. Because of this, using previously-administered LSATs is indisputably the most effective way to prepare for the test. Logic games in particular highlight the formulaic nature of the Law School Admission Test. In order to maximize your potential on this section, it is important that you learn to recognize these patterns and exploit them to the fullest extent. In this volume, Cambridge LSAT groups the eighty logic games from PrepTests 21-40 by type, and presents each particular grouping in order of increasing difficulty. Thus, as your technique improves in any one category, you will face more challenging games. Our groupings were designed with simplicity in mind, so that you can focus on mastering the various game types without worrying about complex taxonomy. Chapters

| Valuable for Those Seeking a Top Score, but not RequiredThe best prep for the LSAT is to take actual tests and examine your mistakes - for example, 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests and 10 More Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests (Lsat Series). This book from Kaplan is a nice addition, although it's not required.
The questions in this book are not the official questions, and most are far harder than anything you'll see on the LSAT. However, the value in this book isn't getting realistic questions. The value is training yourself to think like the test-makers want you to think. Think of this as high-altitude training. You get your mind ready for the types of questions you'll see on the LSAT, and you do that under tougher conditions than you'll see on the real thing.
Don't rely solely on this book - the core of your prep should be real test questions. But it's worth spending some money for some variety on a book designed for people shooting for the very highest scores.
