The Insider's Guide
The Insider Series

The Insider’s Guides are a series of educational and professional based books focused on specific learning experiences. Ranging from law school to medical school and everything in between, The Insider’s Guides were created for incoming students to read before the journey begins, preparing them for everything they will see during their first year of law school, medical school, college, and even the real world.

The Insider’s Guides enlist some of the most helpful advice from professors, students, and educators so readers can learn directly from the people how are involved with the specific curriculum. The Insider Series takes a student’s hand from the first day of orientation and walks through every aspect of the journey, until the student puts his or her pen on the desk, completing the last exam of the first year.

No other book on the market takes the student centered approach The Insider’s Guides take. Other books overload the reader with too much information. They take the jack-of-all-trades approach, where the reader gets a little taste of everything. However, The Insider’s Guide give readers a focused, straightforward and in-depth approach to the first year of their new curriculums because the first year is the most important piece of the entire academic pie. As well as being reader friendly, The Insider’s Guides are a useful reference guide students can use and share with one another when school seems impossible or unmanageable. Consider this book as an insurance policy for a student’s educational experience.

The Insider’s Guide to Your First Year of Law School

First day of school jitters are common for nearly all young students, but law school jitters might as well be a lightening strike! Justin Spizman, Esq. will always remember his first law class at Georgia State University School of Law. As the professor sternly approached the podium he said, “My name is Professor Roberts. Enough with the introductions—let’s begin. Can anyone please define a contract?” With that, Spizman knew he had just entered the big leagues.

Spizman’s book The Insider’s Guide to Your First Year of Law School: Students, Professors and Practicing Professionals Tell You What it Takes to Come Out on Top provides a rarely seen in-depth perspective of law school from the eyes of a student. Providing first hand knowledge, personal student interviews, and law professor insights, Spizman covers everything law students need to know to survive their first year, including:

  • What law professors really want from students
  • How to balance a full law school workload with life
  • Strategies for a successful career in law
  • Secrets to managing the inevitable stress of law school
  • Determining the right type of law to pursue
  • Why Spizman’s rule-of-thumb for class—“Come early, be loud, stay late”—works just as well for law school as for University of Texas football fans

Endorsed by George H. Ross of “The Apprentice,” The Insider’s Guide to Your First Year of Law School educates and inspires students to finish law school on top with “Insider’s Guide” pointers from law professionals, a smart and savvy writing style and Spizman’s “best case scenarios” (for when the unavoidable hours of study and reading don’t seem to make a difference). Spizman’s law school journal of daily trials and triumphs turned into a valuable resource that will serve law school students for years to come.
