[blindlaw] Looking for a bunch of books

[Tai Schmittroth]

Elizabeth,

Thanks so much for your advice. I am not planning to read these books during
law school. I hope to read some of them during the summer before law school.
I know I will not have time for extracurricular reading while in law school.
Tai

I do not have, and neither do  I know anyone who has any of these titles.  I
am however going to give you unsolicited advice which you could take or
discard.

Except for a couple of titles on your list, I'm not sure you'll have the
time to read anything other than the textbooks  recommended for your law
school classes.

My advice, therefore, is that you read whatever you think will help you
understand the law as much as possible before the semester begins, and
ocncentrate on your studies the rest of the time.

I'm telling you this because in my first semester of law school, I read as
much unrecommended books as I could with the thinking that they'd help me
understand better what the professors were saying in class.  I had a couple
of textbooks--not a whole lot, but I paid very little attention to them. 
Needless to say, I did very poorly after my first sememster and only picked
up when I read my  textbooks and outlines during the second semester.

Some of the books you're looking for are indeed good reads but again, this
is unsolicited advice and you should feel free to do with it whatever you
deem fit.
