Whew! It seems like yesterday I was working my way through law school and jotting down the notes that would later become Law School Fast Track. It's been three years since I finished with school, and I often get the opportunity to talk with prospective students about the ups and downs of law school, and how to create personal habits to succeed. Some of the most frequent questions I get are about the extreme expense of law school and whether or not it’s a good return on your investment. And it's true: law school is a big investment of your time and money. It is essential that anyone thinking about law school asks him or herself if the return on the investment is worth the cost.
While the answer to that question is undoubtedly different for each person who ventures down the law school path, there are tools that help perspective and current law students not only make the decision about whether to spend the time and money in the first place, but also about how to minimize the cost, and maximize the return. One of the best tools on this topic is the practical guidebook Barrister on a Budget, by Jenny L. Maxey.
Ms. Maxey hits the nail on the head with her advice and suggestions on how to smartly navigate the law school investment. Barrister on a Budget compels the reader to think about the economic realities about how law school will be financed, and how to accomplish law school goals in the most cost effective way possible. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of this book if you are a current law student, or if you're even thinking about law school.
Barrister on a Budget is available as an ebook at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.com.
