Bramble Bush: On Our Law and Its Study - Softcover

A brilliant survey for students and lawyers of what law is and what legal education does and can do to make a person a lawyer. (Erwin N. Griswold, Former Dean of Harvard Law School)

What comes through best are Llewellyn's own feelings that the law - studying law, practicing law, teaching law - is a vital, creative, exhilarating affair which will reward the best efforts of the best minds that will apply themselves to it. (Professor Grant Gilmore, Yale Law School)

Contains the best introductory lectures ... does not merely outline the dry bones of law. (Professor Arthur L. Corbin, Columbia University)

For over 50 years, prospective and enrolled law students have been assigned a text that tells them what they are about to encounter. Now in its tenth reprint since 1951, Bramble Bush is that text. Answering questions that all students have about law school, Bramble Bush virtually takes one inside the classroom and the world of exams. It incorporates examples, detailed information, and practical explanations that make this book a solid introductory text.
