The textbook introduces the concept of experiential learning and establishes the recurrent themes for the chapters that follow. The text also raises ethical issues common to externship placements and provides a framework for students to work through the issues. Provides guidance for students who use journals to record and reflect on their externship experience. Focuses on how students can learn from observation of lawyering behavior during the externship. Also introduces issues of bias in the legal profession for reflection and discussion as part of an externship experience. Discusses use of externship to improve traditional lawyering skills.

Like so many law students, I have an externship this summer. Yay! Like so many law students I have a boring class that accompanies that externship. Boo! This book is the textbook for that snooze of a class.

The book is good. It would be very helpful to at least read the first few chapters before you start that way you avoid making the common mistakes that seem to plague first time externs. I will admit to making such mistakes since we didn't get around to reading relevant sections of the book until it was too late.

The book is only as good as the timing of when you read it. It isn't a page turner to begin with, but it is better than a casebook. Huzzah for variety. Have a great summer job.

Written for the Mentally Challenged Law Student

This text blows. It is so dumbed down that I find it more excruciating to read 10 pages in this than 100 pages of Con Law. It gets an extra star because it is paperback.
