This book is very handy for pre-law or entering-law students who are not quite sure where they are headed. As a senior at the University of Michigan, I know I want to go into law, but have no idea what to do with it. This guide helped give me some realistic options of what to do with a law degree if I find 80-hour workweeks too unbearable.

Anybody interested in law should read this because so many pre-law students (at least those without family members or friends as lawyers) have little idea what happens in a corporate law situation, in a law firm, or in a public interest organization. This book helps distinguish the pros and cons of each option, giving you a breakdown of where you need to go and what you need to do to get where you want to be.

I am glad I read this book because it has helped me get a better sense of what exactly there is to do out in the real world that makes use of a law degree.

Another wonderful resource for students that may be thinking that being a lawyer means doing nothing but arguing all the time. This book helps them see the wide variety of law type jobs.

Very elementary. No real new insight beyond what you can find out at your career services office. Don't waste your time or money on this one.

This book is great for exploring the legal field for those who want to become lawyers or want to learn about law...it familiarizes you with areas and options of law

I thought that the book was very well written and gave much needed information for one whom is pursuing a law career. I thought that the book needed a chapter or two on law schools, yet for the most part the book was helpful.
