Reading Like a Lawyer: Time-Saving Strategies for Reading Law Like an Expert, 2nd edition

The ability to read law well is an indispensable skill that can make
or break the academic career of any aspiring lawyer. Fortunately, the
ability to read law well (quickly and accurately) is a skill that can be
acquired through knowledge and practice. First published in 2005, Reading Like a Lawyer
has become a staple on many law school reading lists for prospective
and admitted students. The second edition includes the same critical
reasoning and reading strategies, accompanied by hands-on practice
exercises, that made the first edition such a success. It adds a
valuable new chapter on a growing challenge for this generation of legal
readers: how to read material that is presented on a screen with
maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
