Description
This popular book helps students make the transition from their undergraduate experience to law school learning. Unlike other "introduction to law school" texts, Bridging the Gap offers a different approach because it: Explains the "why" of law, providing students with the context necessary to understand why law school is taught in a certain manner. Explains the "how" of the law, setting out a step-by-step process that will help students adapt to the law school setting. Explains the "what" of the law, giving students the opportunity to practice the problem-solving process by providing numerous exercises in a variety of subject matter areas. Rather than giving only general advice, or black letter law and some practice problems for a specific subject, Bridging the Gap provides the context, the process, and the problems. Written by two former law school professors who used these techniques with thousands of students, Bridging the Gap is a guide to what really works in law school.

Summary: "1 L Future Lawyer"
I purchased this book for my pre-law course. This is an excellent tool for 1L students who are clueless on what to expect when entering law school. It lays the basic understanding on how, when, and what of law. The book was very interesting and gave examples on how to study, prepare, and complete assignments for class. If you are asked to purchase this book, please do. You will not regret it and you will be prepared for the first day of class.

Summary: "Great insight"
I recommend this book for any entering 1L. It was a required reading for my summer before my first year and it gave me a good preview to the kind of work I would be doing and some helpful tips for note taking, exam taking, briefing, etc.

Summary: "Took WAY too long to ship."
I needed this book by a certain date for school and I was told it was Free 2-Day Shipping. I didn't come for like 2 months, after I had moved and started law school. Totally defeated the purpose. I still don't know what took it so long.
