One L review

Scott Turow’s One L is a powerful portrayal of one man’s first year at Harvard Law School. In One L, the character is presented with a legal education much different than that he had expected to receive. His own principles, morals, and beliefs were challenged. Yet despite the fact that much of his first year was turbulent and challenging, Turow makes it through the hardest year of law school and learns a lot …

…Turow and his classmates make me want to prove myself as one of them. One L was a phenomenal story that I found difficult to put down. It frightened me greatly, but I am convinced that most law schools this day in age are not quite so tough as Harvard was in the 1970s. The difficulty of Harvard law as portrayed in One L has inspired me greatly to prove myself as a conscientious student.
