12 Best Books For Pre Law Students (2022 Updated)

This book represents the clearest and most concise view of what the law is and should be than anything I have seen before. Frederic Bastiat, a man who was unfamiliar to me before this reading, displays the unique combination of a total understanding of his subject and the ability to explain it in terms that even I understand.

This book should be required reading in every institution of learning in every country and I urge anyone who thinks I exaggerate its importance to read it for themselves.

This excellent translation from Frederic Bastiat’s original French addresses the question. If we cannot trust a person to conduct their own life (providing they don’t violate the lives or property of others) we cannot trust other people to control it.

The Law is one of the best books of all time on freedom and the proper role of government. I read it years ago, but am happy to now have my own hard copy.

I bought this for my granddaughter. I read about forty pages of it to her. Because she was busy after that, I read it on my own. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am sure most people would find it very entertaining.

I love to read a Grisham novel and I was pleased when my twelve-year-old grandson loaned me his copy of this legal thriller written for the younger crowd. Grisham’s characters are fleshed out so well I feel as if I know them.

His plots moves along at just the right pace and the endings settle the murder mystery. However this ending had me wanting even more; I wanted the author to tie up the loose end of Omar Cheepe. Perhaps we’ll meet him again in a future Theo novel.

I recommend this novel to young and old. There’s much to be learned about the law within these pages. The writing is well done without any profanity or inappropriate scenes. I sure enjoyed it!.

This book is another great legal mystery by John Grisham, it is great reading for adults as well as teenagers that like reading mystery books. It was full of mystery & intrigue as well as good moral values.

I read all of this author’s books and was not disappointed in this one. GREAT READING!.

This is one of the most important material to read to understand the process in which our relationship mentally and spiritually works, and how to make our desires come into reality. I highly recommend this book.

The author wrote this book in a very simple and direct language making the material easy to read and understand.

A great book to read on self improvement. If you are religiously inclined, it helps to demistify the bible and spirituality and also provides a clear interpretation and understanding on very important bible messages.

I found it very inspiring and uplifting. It also provides very good practical suggestions on how one can put the prosperity laws into practice in one’s every day life. Through applying the suggestions, I am beginning to see a transformation in my life that is without a doubt due to observing the natural laws.

Probably one of the best books I have ever read concerning prosperity and wealth and how to develop a wealth mind-set. Right up there with Think & Grow Rich and The Secret. Straight-forward, practical information.

Highly recommend.

I bought this James Patterson book, A Family Lawyer, with the thought I was getting a 490 page book. Well this is really just 3 James Patterson Book-shots in one 490 page book. READING DIFFERENT EBAY AUCTION Descriptions most do not state this is actually 3 different books in one.

What is the worst was the first Book The Family Lawyer just ended. Lots of what a normal book has the beginning, then the trial, in the middle of a book, is starting then the book ends. It just ends.

A complete let down. The second book Night Sniper. Completely unbelievable. A complete waste of paper and ink. Just stupid, stupid and more an unbelievable end. The second book is a waste of time. Lack of a James Patterson thriller.

Book 3, The Good Sister. Makes book 1 and 2 seem great. Don’t waste your money and don’t waste your time reading all 3 of these BAD books. I am glad I bought this used paperback in perfect condition, a great price with free shipping.

That was the only good about this book.

Great characters! I red a lot of mystery books & didnt figure out who done it in this story.

Always love James Patterson. Three stories in this book; each a thriller.

This is info I have been aware of for a lot of years, and I’m pleased that Mr. Stevensen has articulated it so well. I’m a 75yr old white conservative woman. Everyone should be aware of what has been happening in our legal system for years.

This doesn’t mean I am against the police. I grew up a poor child, but I was able to work hard to improve my life. How ever I’m sure it made quite a difference because of the color of my skin, and that’s sad.

This book is very well written, and I am/have been recommending it to many people. I appreciate the work Mr Stevensen and his team are doing and accomplishing. Thanks for making it more affordable for me.

Sincerely Gale Munkelwitz.

An eyeopening, hard-hitting, heart breaking account of not only Bryan Stevenson working on Walter McMillian’s case, but also the injustices of the past and present prison system. Stevenson formed the Equal Justice Institute not long after graduating from Harvard Law School and was doing all he could to fight for those on death row.

The key case highlighted in this book was Walter McMillian’s – I won’t go into too much detail but the lack of ANY evidence tying McMillian to the murder he was accused of and the absolute corruption that put him in jail is horrifying.

I learned so much from this book and at times I wanted to throw the book across the room and cry because of the sheer injustice there is in the world. I want to give a huge thank you to Stevenson and all those who work at EJI and places like it that help those who cannot help themselves.

Bryan Stevenson is an amazing human being. He started the Equal Justice Initiative and has gotten people off of death row who were innocent or shouldn’t have been there to begin with. He believes we aren’t the worst decisions we make in our lives.

He sees more in another human being than most see in any in their entire lives. This book takes you on his journey from deciding what to do with his career to what it has led him to in his lifes work.

He believes in mercy. He stands for human decency. This book, the movie can all teach us more compassion and humility for others.

Awesome read!

Good quality, very portable as well. I would give it 5 star if it werent for a few spelling errors

Interesting read considering how we are told this information was given to Aleister Crowley.

It is rare that the second book in a trilogy is as good as the first. The second book is frequently the weak link in a great series, but “Before They are Hanged” managed to keep the pace as strongly as book one.

It is not a FAST pace – which may disappoint those who want a quick read – but it is intense. I feel the need to repeat that this is not a light read. Joe Abercrombie is a dark author, and BTaH is no exception.

I normally read very quickly. There are few books I cannot finish in a day or two. However, the book is long enough and the reading heavy enough that it took me about a week to complete BTaH. Even despite the compelling story, it takes time.

It is not quite as drawn out as Game of Thrones (Winter is Taking Forever), but that series is still the only comparison I can make here. And again, I lost sleep over it. Take my advice and do NOT make this your pre-bedtime reading because its impossible to get to bed on time!.

Sequels are a fickle thing in books. Some sequels simply don’t live up to their predecessor. Abercrombie has created an absolute masterpiece in the first law series. Before they are hanged continues the series in a fantastic direction and is well worth a read to fans of this vibrant masterfully created world.

I was given the rest of this saga as a gift by my brother in law but book 2 was missing. I read the first one and was hooked. I love fantasy books like Game Of Thrones and this is very similar and I instantly fell in love with the characters.

The story is very deep and interwoven and brilliantly written and I found I couldn’t put it down. Book 2 which I’m reviewing now is the same if not better. Abercrombie is fleshing out the characters and giving them depth, but ever so slowly.

You get brief glimpses of each of their pasts and this makes you want to find out more! The book itself was used, but was in very good condition. I was very happy with my purchase.

The complete trilogy is, quite simply, a ripping yarn. I read all 3 books in one week and really enjoyed them. While they’re not in the Tolkien or even Feist class, they are still great entertainment.

People who enjoy their fantasy stories with gritty, hard edges combined with risque language and explicit violence will appreciate Abercrombie’s writing style. As other reviewers have noted, Glokta the torturer is by far the most nuanced and therefore interesting character.

Loved this, great characters, believable storyline. All of the characters are deeply flawed but human. Immediately bought the other 2 books in the series. Also the 3 stand alone books set in the same world.

Excellent.

good condition ,no missing pages or damage to the product

This book gave me a push. Some info I already knew but it was nice to see it in blacks no white from a master. Other info was a real level-up. You can be a good lawyer. You can be a good businessman.

This book makes sure to remind you that you need both. And if you’re not hungry, just eat the house salad with no dressing and go work for someone who is hungry.

When I bought this book I knew John Morgan was one of, if not the, most successful trial attorneys in Florida. I was skeptical that this book would be helpful, but after reading a teaser I decided that it was worth the risk at this reasonable price.

I was blown away with the information in this book. Now, I’m a tech oriented person, so I did find some of the systems etc. to be a bit dated, but the business advice and practice evaluation pointers are priceless.

This book isn’t written by Shakespeare, but I found it easy to read. I outlined as I went and have gone back to my notes and highlighting in this book at least a handful of times since finishing it, and I’ve only had it about 45 days.

I feel prepared heading into the 2016 year with a clearer focus and with a better view of the playing field that I have in past years. I would highly recommend this book to small firms and solos, especially if you’ve only been in business less than five years, or need a fresh look at your business.

Now, I’m going order the next book.

Although I do not practice personal injury law, I still found this book to be inspiring, helpful and relevant to building my family law firm. I look forward to implementing many of the strategies learned!.

Excellent read. Just shows how messed up our court systems are, where things like false allegations just from someones word, can lead to an innocent person being sent to prison. This Barrister shows empathy, towards people who are caught up on the wrong sized of the law, who are innocent, with no voice.

By writing this fantastic book!.

Havent read it yet. Saving it for holidays. Listened to the audio on radio 4. That compelled me to buy it

Even if you’ve never committed an offence in your life, you could still be mistakenly arrested, mistakenly charged, wrongly convicted and wrongly imprisoned. Don’t take my word for it; read this book.

And pray it never happens to you.

An extraction operation in Yemen by SEAL Team Six goes terribly wrong. Lives are lost. Some suspect the president knew the operation was compromised. A case is filed and Paige Chambers, a young attorney, tries to find out the truth.

I enjoyed this novel, a combination of character development and legal procedure. Singer has done a good job with Chambers and the other characters involved. There is quite a bit of character rumination and scene description.

I have to admit I skipped some of the description of Chambers on her morning run, for example, until she met someone on the path and dialog started. While there is much about the characters, of the most interest to me was the legal aspect of the novel.

Is the president subject to the rule of law or above the law? Should the U. S. be sending military personnel on clandestine missions to nations with which we are not at war, if not action against al Qaeda under the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force Act? What about the use of drones to take out people in those countries? Should the CIA make military personnel temporary agents so they can be sent out on assignments the military is otherwise forbidden to do? What role should the courts play in reviewing foreign policy actions? The novel is not all legal procedure.

There are some desperate government agents determined to cover up their illegal action so there is some suspense too. Singer writes in the Author’s Note that he wrote this book in 2016 to address important issues.

Is the president above the rule of law in matters of foreign policy? Should the U. S. be involved, through the CIA, in shadow wars in countries where we have not declared war? Should U. S. troops ever be used for political gain? He created a fictitious president, cabinet and Supreme Court but, nonetheless, the issues remain very real.

I recommend this novel to those who enjoy a timely story about legal procedure and the secrecy the government claims as national security. You’ll be faced with wondering, as I did, just how much secrecy the government needs to operate effectively.

I received a complimentary egalley of this book through Litfuse. My comments are an independent and honest review.

I am a sucker for a good legal thriller, and Randy Singer does not disappoint. Jamie Brock is a prosecutor because her mother was murdered, and she longs for the day when her mother’s killer is executed.

She seeks justice to the exclusion of all else including plea bargains. She doesn’t do them. Ever. So when the man who defended her mother’s killer is charged with murdering his wife, she is thrilled with the opportunity to prosecute.

What she doesn’t know is that this case will be the biggest challenge of her career and it may reorder everything she thinks she knows about anything. I thoroughly enjoyed this page turner! The story has many twists and there are moments when certainty about who is the good guy and who is the bad guy changes with every sentence.

The book explores the ways in which a black and white only existence can be troublesome in a world that is ever colored in shades of gray. So many times in real life, bullheaded certainty leads to devastating misunderstandings, and this tale is a portrait of how it is that what appears to be the truth may actually be a tragic lie.

The beginning will grab you, the middle will keep you guessing, and the ending will stop your heart. That is always what I look for in a thriller. Randy Singer delivers. Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher.

I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

John Ortberg with his mentor Dallas Willird, reminds us that our soul needs tending to daily. Like a stream without attention, it becomes neglected and stagnant. He mentions daily scripture reading, prayer, and service, as all part of being an active participant in our own faithfulness.

When we do fall short, God’s grace is always with us as His gift of love for us. Ortberg’s humor in his writing, admitting his own human flaws, creates a bond with any reader. God’s love flows through this inspiring study and we all are blessed.

The study guide is good but the book itself is even better. If you get the study guide, I would also recommend you get the book. Who ever thinks about the meaning of your soul? I certainly hadn’t. We use this book in a small group and the church suggested we do a chapter a week.

We decided to do a chapter every two weeks because there is a lot to think about and “chew on” in each chapter. Worth it to take the extra time to cover this material and reflect on what you read. A very good book once again Mr.

Ortberg!.

The inside cover has an oily stain that appears through several pages front and back. I cannot gift this to a friend in need.
