The Guide to Belonging in Law School (Academic and Career Success Series)

About this book

The Guide to Belonging in Law School is the only book of its kind and should be required summer reading before law school. It accomplishes two discrete goals. First it requires readers to engage in an authentic rigorous mini-law school semester involving reading studying exam preparation and exam writing. Second the book provides a foundation for students from marginalized groups to recognize and manage both subtle and explicit barriers that can impede their progress. Law schools should recommend this book to every incoming law student especially those from groups underrepresented in the profession. Professor McClain is a nationally-recognized expert on inclusiveness and minority student achievement in law school.
