Greetings, Veeky Forums.
I'm starting law school, in a week or so, with the aspiration to become a lawyer, in the future.
I was wondering if there are people knowledgeable in this field, that could point out some useful books/literature, so that I can get more acquainted with the subject.
Thank you for taking your time to read this.
I'm a 3L, you need to chill.
Go on a vacation, do some drugs. You will be under a lot of stress in two weeks. Spend the time you have now in the most relaxing way possible.
Good luck. Where did you get into?
Law, Legislation and Liberty by Hayek
Democracy in America by Tocqueville
You also need regular philosophy, so 9 volumes of History of Philosophy by Fredrick Copleston, as it is impossible to understand law as a theory without first understanding where it is coming from.
Go to the library and find textbooks + supplements for the following topics: Torts, Civ Pro, Contracts, Property
Look them over, then find important cases and try to brief them.
See if you can work out the logical structure of the decision and also the rule(s) at issue
I've heard reading One L is a rite of passage for going into law
Habermas and Hans Kelsen
Haha, I've been having a half-year vacation, of sorts after dropping out of dentistry university, so I've had plenty of time to rest, to be honest.
I was born and raised in Macedonia, so I'm attending Macedonia's "Justinian I".
Thank you for the suggestions, I will look them up online, see if there are any PDFs that I can download and skim over.
Read your assigned reading and nothing else. Read everything you're told to twice and make notes. Read nothing but assigned readings. You don't need a background in the humanities to succeed in Law, you need to read your fuckhuge law textbooks and nothing else.

I'm afraid that is a person and not a law school dude.
