Introduction to the Study and Practice of Law in a Nutshell (Nutshells)

A funny and insightful introduction to the rest of your life. Tens of thousands of lawyers started here. If you join them, you will have a hands-on experience with the difficult but central skill: legal analysis. Then youll learn about study skills: briefing cases, making the most of your classes, and taking exams. Youll practice and critique examples. As a lawyer youll write and talk a lot --- therefore, the chapters on legal writing and oral argument will help. Finally youll sit back and see how a case develops, from late night advertising to closing argument. Along the way, youll find material on ethics, jurisprudence, and finally, bad jokes.
