Tonsing’s techniques, diligently applied, have been instrumental not only in helping me graduate from law school but also passing bar exams. In the four years following law school, I have passed five bar examinations using tips from Professor Tonsing’s book. 1000 Days to the Bar is the most useful tool available. I highly recommend it.

 — Jerry L. Godding, Esq., Florida.

This book is the perfect antidote to the perennial law student concern—‘What does law school have to do with lawyering?’ It is not only full of great advice about how to approach the study of law, but it also makes clear that good study habits are intricately linked with the skills required to excel as a lawyer. Law students, or those thinking about becoming law students, would be wise to pick up a copy of this book.

This second edition of 1000 Days to the Bar serves as an outstanding aid to students trying to master the law. The author keeps his focus on the true goals for the law student: success on exams, bar passage, and preparation for a satisfying career. He offers clever and clearly described means toward those ends by breaking down all the skills a successful lawyer (and law student) must master. The book appeals to students with different learning styles, is witty, and is written in a manner that both the novice and expert can appreciate. In short, it's a fantastic and essential companion for all law students.

Dennis Tonsing’s book provides a multitude of practical strategies for law students who want to excel in law school. Many “law school success” books list strategies that seem applicable only to the vagaries of the self-contained law school world. The strategies here are carefully chosen for their applicability to practice skills required by every lawyer. Law students who read this book will gain both valuable insights into legal studies and a solid foundation for their future profession’s demands.
