How to Survive the First Year of Law School

Well, it's quiet today in my favorite corner of the Library, but not for long! Soon the tables will fill up with new faces, as the Hofstra Law Class of 2014 find their favorite spots, too. Being a brand new IL can seem overwhelming at first, so if you're starting law school this week, take advantage of the American Bar Association's free guide, "How to Survive the First Year of Law School." It's great review of the things you really need to know before it all begins.

This is a link to car care tips for hot weather driving.
