One L: The Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School - Softcover

Each September, a new crop of students - known as One Ls - enter Harvard Law School to begin an intense, often gruelling, sometimes harrowing year of introduction to the law.

Here bestselling author Scott Turow recounts his own turbulent first year. Will his group of One Ls survive? Will they excel? Will they make the Law Review? With remarkable insight into both his classmates and himself, Turow - creator and master of the legal thriller genre - leads us through the ups and downs, the small triumphs and tragedies of the year, in an absorbing and thought-provoking narrative that teaches the reader not only about law school and the law but about the flawed human beings who make them what they are.
