One L: the Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School by Scott Turow

A wonderful book.it should be read by anyone who has ever contemplated going to law school. Or anyone who has ever worried about being human.--The New York Times

It was a year of terrors and triumphs, of depressions and elations, of compulsive work, pitiless competition, and, finally, mass hysteria. It was Scott Turow's first year at the oldest, biggest, most esteemed center of legal education in the United States. Turow's experiences at Harvard Law School, where freshmen are dubbed One Ls, parallel those of first-year law students everywhere. His gripping account of this critical, formative year in the life of a lawyer is as suspenseful, said The New York Times, as the most absorbing of thrillers.

Presumed Innocent, Innocent, Ordinary Heroes, The Weight of Evidence, Reversible Mistakes, and Limits are among Scott Turow's internationally bestselling novels. One L, his first-year law school journal, and Ultimate Punishment, which he published after serving on the Illinois panel that studied the death penalty's administration and impacted Governor George Ryan's unusual commute of the sentences of 164 death row inmates on his last day in office, are among his nonfiction writings. The Robert F. Kennedy Award went to Extreme Punishment. The Kennedy Book Prize is given to the best book published in the United States He is a partner at SNR Denton (previously Sonnenschein, Nath & Rosenthal) and resides outside of Chicago.
