This book is a good overview of different Law Schools out there, but I wouldn't by any means call it comprehensive. It clearly has some leanings towards the top ivies or to the schools that paid them some royalties - it's touch to figure out which. The book lists the basic facts such as GPA requirements, LSAT scores, etc (but that are obviously available on the schools website). It then details several sections about the school such as Academics, Life, and "Getting In". After reading a couple of these you'll be left wondering if they actually had factual information about the school or if they just 'shot it from the hip'. It's plainly repetitive and obvious such as "The average LSAT score is XXX and the average undergrad GPA was X.X" or Such & Such Christian University teaches law from a "Christian Perspective".

If you're going to pay for something I would recommend the US NEWS rankings premium service. At least that way you get more information that what's already available for free and you have the added benefit of a search feature.
