Later in Life Lawyers - Charles Cooper

For four years the NonTradLaw discussion board has been a meeting place for nontrad law students looking for a community of like minded people. This book is, in part, a product of the discussion found on the board. If you want to know how other nontrad students have made their way from one career into law school applications and on through the years of study then it's all here.

The book has plenty of real-life experiences and advice all from people who've been through the system - and come out the other end. If you're thinking of becoming a nontrad law student then this book is essential reading.
