This book is a fraudulent attempt to make law school seem like a good economic investment for your future. In fact- it’s not. Approximately 90% of practicing lawyers hate their jobs and regret ever going to law school. Most people go to law school because they think they will make a lot of money. WRONG. The majority of lawyers only make an accountant’s salary. If you enjoy tedious and pointless work with no potential for growth then become a lawyer. Otherwise, go to business school and get your M.B.A..

The first line of this book is: “CONGRATULATIONS! By picking up and opening this book, you have just taken the first significant step toward building a productive, successful, and perhaps an even pleasant law school experience.” THIS IS FALSE. If you are smart enough to go to law school then you are smart enough to be successful at a cool job that you enjoy NOT MINDLESS TEDIOUS STRESSFUL LAW WORK. PAY YOUR DUES FOR A FEW YEARS IN A FIELD YOU ENJOY AND DONT BE RISK AVERSE AND GO FOR WHAT LOOKS LIKE EASY MONEY, THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH. Do you think they would be paying that much at top law jobs if it was a cool job? How much do they pay people starting out in fashion or music business jobs? NOTHING. BECAUSE THOSE ARE DESIRABLE JOBS. If someone is going to pay a kid with no experience or noticeable skills 6 figures right out of the gate, wouldn’t that raise a red flag in your head? Law school is for risk averse pretentious status-hungry arrogant pompous failures. Get out in the real world and hustle and make success for yourself that you can be proud of. When you are a lawyer you will be embarrassed to admit to it in public. When people ask what you do you will get a sinking feeling and want to make something up because it is too boring to describe. Still not convinced? See you in 20 years when you’re bald, fat, have high blood pressure, crappy relationships, kids you barely know, still paying off debt and wondering where your life and youth went.

My daughter did everything right to get into a top 10 law school…at least we and she thought so……invited into the prestigious undergraduate Honors College at a top 10 Public University…top 2% of 50,000 students…traveled abroad twice…EXCEPT, we did not read Mr. Miller’s Book until After the Law App process…now we collectively hold our breath, because of a strategic error. A private mentor might save applicants and their parents a lot of headaches…and this is a close as you’ll get to a private FOR HIRE mentor…we know! Concerned Parents and applicants Must Read it as soon as there is a glimmer of an interest in : The Law and a top Law School Experience. Mr. Miller is truly at the top of his game having lived throught the process RECENTLY…and since he had close friends make strategic errors, including friends who were studying at Universities ranked in the top 5 for undergrad, he can speak closely to the ‘dark side’ of a mistake. There are many opportunities which are matched by equally obnoxious and unfair pratfalls within the HEIRARCHY of Law Scools Pay close attention to this in the book. Miller does a fine job of outling options…so that the students have an increased chance of getting into their top ‘schools of choice’ and knowing what that really means!! WE are finding out the hard way that everything in here is current, accurate, and he does not sugarcoat the reality of getting into ‘THE BIG TOP’ and what it will be like ‘in the tent’.. Parents should read this so you are on the same page as your graduate. This may be the last and most influential thing you do for and with them. It may help you understand why your new ‘star graduate’ may even need some time off before law school…Remember…a top law student is not a ‘Machine’ and the Top Law Schools will prove it…Be sure its not at your mutual expense.. BUY The Book! READ The Book! BELIEVE The Book.!!!
