Summary: A good prep book for law school!
Comment: I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to go to law school or about to enter law school. It teaches you how to make an outline and brief cases which a 1L do most of the time.

Summary: Offers more than just Advice
Comment: Stropus and Taylor's _Bridging the Gap Between College and Law School: Strategies for Success_ offers far more than just advice on test preparation, notetaking, and case briefing. Though the most popular -- and responsible -- advice to the incoming "1L" is not to worry about law school the summer preceding, it is a rare law student that does not. For those that insist on preparing in some way (as I did before I entered), it is far more appropriate to learn HOW to do well in law school than to try and "pre-learn" torts, civil procedure, or contracts. While there are quite a few books on the market that attempt this, Bridging the Gap provides step-by-step instructions *and* subsequent exercises -- a combination not found elsewhere.Furthermore, Bridging the Gap addresses how to solve the inevitable problems that a 1L faces throughout his/her first year; other books simply note them and move on.
While many of the products on the market try and prepare the incoming law student for his/her first year, their utility ends on the first day of school. Bridging the Gap, through clear and specific advice pertinent to the entire experience, is a resource that students will turn to (get it?) from August till May.
