This book is only useful to either a 1L or someone thinking of going to law school. It contains no information that anyone who has spent any time at all practicing law does not already know.
Rating: 1 / 5
The Vault Guide to Litigation Careers is the kind of book I wish I had had when I was deciding what to do with my law degree. The author is quite thorough and writes clearly and concisely. I particularly enjoyed the section on law school, as these are common sense tips that I could have used.
The Vault Guides are well-thought out guides for anyone considering law school. I think this is one of the better ones.

Starting from the decision to go to law school and moving all the way into your litigation career, this book is thorough, enjoyable and full of real-world advice. This isn’t the recycled promotional career advice you get from firms, but the real story. I’m a law student, and I generally like Vault guides, but this is my favorite because the writing is so good. It explains the varieties of litigation as well as the realities of being a litigation associate in a firm. And, unlike most law books, it also discusses public interest and government work.
I don’t know yet if I’ll go into litigation, but this was a great read! The only downside is the price–the book is great, but why is it so expensive??
