Should be retitled "Jobs at Huge Law Firms for Top 5%"
If you're not interested in a job with one of the big law firms, and/or aren't in the top of your law school class, skip this book. Though you wouldn't guess it from the book description or the other reviews, the book gives advice that just isn't appropriate in small or mid-sized firm applications; some of the advice, such as sending out transcripts with every resume, is just plain hurtful to most candidates. For a much more helpful book on the subject, read Kimm Walton's helpful 'Guerrilla Tactics for Getting the Legal Job of Your Dreams'.

a helpful guide for navigating the system
This book gave me an insider's perspective into the ways that law firms recruit, something I had no idea how to approach. It gave me extra confidence going into my interview, that made me feel articulate and comfortable. I aced all three of my interviews, and I am starting my new job on Monday!This book is a must for any law student's book shelf.

The Law Firm Interview is helpful and informative. It gives straightforward advice that is easy to follow.
