Reading Like A Lawyer: Time-Saving Strategies For Reading Law Like An Expert (Paperback)
Review
“The author is an excellent writer and has produced a book suitable for introducing legal writing and reasoning in a variety of settings.” –Bimonthly Review of Law Books
The ability to read law well is a critical, indispensable skill that can make or break the academic career of any aspiring lawyer. Fortunately, the ability to read law well (quickly and accurately) is a skill that can be acquired through knowledge and practice. The sooner the student masters these skills, the greater the rewards. Using seven specific reading strategies, reinforced with hands-on exercises at the end of each chapter, this book shows students how they can read law efficiently, effectively, powerfully, and confidently. Reading Like a Lawyer is divided into 3 parts: * Part I introduces the reader to the fundamentals of legal reasoning upon which law-based reading builds; * Part II introduces the reader to concrete strategies for reading effectively in law school; * and Part III teaches strategies for reading law outside of the law school context.

Lawyer Hunt (PC)
Lawyer Hunt is an offbeat hunting simulation that combines America’s fascination for violence and its disdain for members of the legal profession. As hunter, it is your job to bait and bag attorneys of all shapes and sizes.
Lawyer Hunt features eight levels of lawyer-bashing fun and three skill levels for beginning, intermediate, and expert hunters. There are four “lawyer habitats” where the prey is most likely to flourish. Find lawyers hiding and sneaking through an auto accident scene, a courtroom setting, a busy city street, and a forest wilderness setting called the “Lawyer’s Den.”
To entice the lawyers from their lairs, the hunter can use “calls” and “bait”. The calls include the sound of someone being injured, a woman demanding a divorce, a man complaining about his hot coffee, the screeching tires of a car accident, and more. Lawyer bait consists of cash tossed into the open field.
Once a lawyer emerges from his or her lair, the hunter tosses a judge’s gavel at the legal beast, rendering him or her unconscious. Hunters must bag eight lawyers to advance to the next level in a scene. Those who complete both levels in a scene receive a trophy that is stored in the trophy room.
If a hunter has difficulty finding all the lawyers in a scene, he or she can use the “look” feature to locate one lawyer. The hunter has a limited number of these to use in each level. If the prey becomes scarce, or boredom sets in, a hunter can move to a different habitat by clicking on the map button.
