I bought this book hoping to receive some good advice on how to write a statement of purpose and she provided two examples. However, I was extremely disappointed when I read the examples because they are written by people who have experiences that most law school applicants don’t. I haven’t been in the Coast Guard for 8 years and I haven’t been a researcher at a top hospital…She gives no good advice for the normal law school applicant. SKIP THIS BOOK!

This book is not good. There are much better books that explain what is included in the book. I would only advise buying this book if you need help in writing a request for a recommendation letter because that is the only informative section in this book.

This is a good book that gives helpful advice. It also points you into the right direction as far as the application process and what to expect. You may also want to look at Richard Montauk’s most recently released guide and/ or the Princeton Review. These books offer information that you will not find it Ivey’s book. However, this book is still provides quite a bit of useful information.
