The law school admission process can be particularly complicated for the uninitiated. More often than not there are just unanswered questions as to how to proceed and what should really be done to which you have no reasonable way of knowing the answer. It is for that inside knowledge that some elect to hire a law school admission expert to help them.
One of those experts is Ann K. Levine. She is a magna cum laude from the University of Miami School of Law. She was the director of admissions for two ABA law schools where she reviewed thousands of applications each year and was primarily responsible for making all admission decisions including awarding scholarships.
Whether you feel you need or want the help and assistance of a law school admission experts, there are two ways that Ann Levine has sought to assist everyone. First, she has a content rich website and blog known as Law School Expert. Second, she has written the book The Law School Admission Game: Play Like An Expert.
I got a copy of the book recently and read it. What impressed me was the clear and understandable road map that is lays out for anybody that is considering law school. It is written from the inside of the admission process.

What I'd like to see is advice to students who do badly after their first year, but not bad enough to merit probation or expulsion.
When I graduated, I received a letter from my school explaining that because my first year grades were so poor, there was a 90+% chance I would fail the bar. Now that's handy information I could have used at the end of my first year, not the last. So why wait?
