Part of the Critical America Series series
See all formats and editions

Aiming to provide an entertaining, visual account of what happens - intellectually, psychologically and logistically - at an American law school, this illustrated book features a female student who is confronted by two mysterious strangers who whisk her off on a Dante-esque tour of the law school.

In turn impudent, cynical and supportive, the guides take her through Inferno (first year), Purgatorio (second year) and Paradiso (third year), all the while probing the basic purpose of her quest.

Along the way she meets archetypal figures such as Larry Leftist, Ms Pro Bono, the Robo-Student, and Professor Deadwood.
