Now that we are a full three weeks into January, many of us are struggling to keeping up with our new year's resolutions. While many resolve to get more exercise or quit a bad habit, another common new year's resolution is to read more books. With this resolution, the law library can definitely help!
If you are looking for suggestions of titles to supplement your study of the law, check out this blog post from the FindLaw Legal Lifestyle & Career Blog, which highlights ten books recommended by distinguished and well-known attorneys. The ten books -- five legal, five fiction -- are part of a larger list published by the ABA Journal, titled "30 Lawyers, 30 Books."
The McKusick Law Library has several of the recommended legal titles in our collection:
