The Bramble Bush: On Our Law and Its Study

Tells it like it is. The book is very clear about the purpose of law school and those interested in applying should read it to have a clearer understanding of what you'll get out of the experience. Light read.

This is the way Lawyers read the "inside of the Monopoly box". Any layman will benefit from the teachings of this extremely entertaining legal scholar.

A wonderful book. For years I have been giving it to students entering law school.

Indispensable for new law students.

A highly readable and fascinating account of legal realism from one who believed that what the judiciary and the executive actually *did* about crimes and disputes constituted the law, rather than that the content of the law was deducible from legal rules. Well worth reading by any law student in a common law jurisdiction who is even mildly interested in jurisprudence.
