Applying to Law School is a step-by-step guide through the perils and pitfalls of the law school application process. Author J.D. Miller, a veteran of the application process, assists potential law students in finding and applying to the law school most suited for them.
The law school application process is a lot like trying to merge into the Indianapolis 500 with your compact car. Hundreds of tons of steel and rubber whipping around turn after turn in a tight pack. All you can do is try to time your entry into the chaos just right.
If you are prepared and ready, it will be a reasonably neat and seamless process in which you will transition from your previous background to your new job as a first year student with a minimum of disruption. If you are unprepared or just plain unlucky, it will be a multiple vehicle pile-up of catastrophic proportions. It will force you to submit hurried and poorly drafted applications, bad LSAT scores, and late financial aid applications which will knock you off balance and diminish your opportunities before you ever even get the chance to make it into the classroom.
