The Law School Journey

In The Law School Journey, James R. Elkins offers students a newly minted view of legal education that follows in the humanistic tradition of Karl Llewellyn's The Bramble Bush and James Boyd White's The Legal Imagination: Studies in the Nature of Legal Thought and Expression. In this engaging collection of commentary and readings, Elkins invites students (and their teachers) to reflect on the nature of law school work, the culture in which it takes place, and the lasting effects of law school rites of passage on those who undertake the law school journey.
