All the books I see on preparing for law school are about the LSAT, choosing schools, how to study, etc...I'm looking for a book that outlines (not like a detailed commercial outline for current students) the first year classes. I.e.
I would go ask your future professors for their syllabi. Or you could ask a current law student for their old outlines.
In general, though, the reason why you can't find a book is because it would be thousands of pages long.
She is a real brainy kid and reads at the college level. I read this book about ten years ago and remember it being pretty good, but it might be too long or complicated. She has two months to read it.
It moves somewhat slowly, and I found it somewhat hard to envision the characters--but it's a good book just the same.
If she bogs down, the movie (a good adaptation) might bring it to life and reinvigorate her interest.

Doesn't see the logic in uni law students having open book exams but year 12 legal studies student not even allowed a page of notes THE LITIGATORS BY JOHN GRISHAM (Hoddder & Stoughton £19.99)
A year ago, I gently suggested that Grisham might consider retiring. His latest legal thriller wasn’t a success, and with 250 million books sold in 29 languages he could certainly afford to. But I’m delighted he didn’t take my advice, for this, his 23rd book, marks a spectacular return to form, displaying the clarity and passion that were there in his first thrillers but seemed to ebb away.
Grisham has returned to the theme that inspired him - the fact that large law firms aren’t interested in justice, only in financial success, which idealistic young lawyers don’t understand. The hero, 32-year-old Harvard Law School graduate David Zinc literally runs out of one of Chicago’s mega-firms and teams up with two ambulance chasing lawyers working out of a wooden bungalow. This unlikely trio then take on a major pharmaceutical company and Zinc fights ‘Big Pharma’ in court.
Cold-War Crimes: Why Amnesty Laws Are Falling in Latin America ...
Now that Uruguay has revoked a 25-year-old amnesty for human rights crimes committed during the country's 1973-85 military dictatorship, citizens are coming forward in droves this week to file charges against former officers, soldiers and cops. Uruguay was one of South America's last holdouts when it came to annulling amnesty laws passed in the wake of the continent's cold-war atrocities. As a result, human rights experts hope that its decision will now push nations in Central America – where Guatemala, the site of some of the Cold War-era's worst massacres, is holding a presidential run-off election on Sunday – to drop their own forgiveness policies, which many believe have only deepened that region's culture of impunity.
Uruguay's Congress overturned the 1986 amnesty law last week, Sept. 27, opening the door to legal action by hundreds of people who claim they were politically jailed and tortured, or that their relatives were abducted and murdered. President José Mujica – a former leftist guerrilla who himself was imprisoned by the dictatorship, on occasion at the bottom of a well – signed the bill, which had been a goal of legislators from his liberal Broad Front coalition for years. The Uruguayan Supreme Court, which in the past had suggested the amnesty was unconstitutional because it protected alleged violators of international laws the country had signed onto, is expected to uphold the revocation measure even though Uruguayans have twice voted in past referendums to keep the amnesty in place....
On Rebooting America by Gary North
Niall Ferguson is my favorite Establishment analyst, because he is an historian who understands a lot about free markets. He writes for the literati. He starred in a PBS series that was worth viewing, and another is scheduled in 2012. He teaches at Harvard University and the Harvard Business School.
He thinks America is running an empire, and he thinks it will not survive much longer. As with all empires, it is going to run out of wealth to support it. So, when he wrote a piece for the Daily Beast , Newsweek , I read it.
He used the metaphor of computing to describe what has been good with the West and what is no longer good. He says the West has had six "killer apps." These are: competition, the scientific revolution, the rule of law and representative government, modern medicine, the consumer society, the work ethic. All of this is true, but are these features fundamental? Are they, in the words of Karl Marx, more substructure or superstructure? I think the latter.

Did you come away with more sympathy for ambulance-chasing lawyers after writing this book? I don't think there's a lot of sympathy. Because I don't have a lot of sympathy for the unrestrained ambulance chasing that you see today in the law.
