This is a must buy for anyone thinking about entering the legal field. I've had an interest in law school for years but there was no comprehensive resource out there for Canadians. This books is written in plain English and is well organized. It's full of hints and tips. I feel that once I get in to law school, this book will really be my secret weapon, my ace up the sleeve.
I can see how this book would be useful to students in their undergrad considering law school or students in any year of law school.
It was refreshing to read about how the legal sector is in CANADA, not the US.
P.S. I emailed the author to ask him a few further questions. He posts his email address all over the book offering to send materials or answer questions...He got back to me within 24 hours with very full and informative response. The author really cares about his readers and seems willing to take time to answer questions.
Thanks Adam!

A must for any lawyer to be in Canada

This book is a comprehensive survey of all topics related to becoming a lawyer in Canada. It provides information that will assist you from your first thoughts of wanting to attend law school up to the day you are finally called to the bar, as well as web links and names of other books that may be of assistance. It is honest and thorough and I would recommend it for anyone who is considering law school, on the path to law school or already in law school. This book is a fresh account of everything law school related that does not deceive, patronize or beat around the bush. The author uses his own experiences and that of his colleagues to provide helpful examples and problem solving techniques. It is evident to me, in reading this book, that the author is selflessly committed to providing the most accurate, up-to-date and constructive advise to Canada's future law community. Mr. Letourneau's out-of-the-box thinking and open personality wonderfully complement this books unique style. [...]
