Anarchy and Elegance

About the Book

Anarchy and Elegance has been called "the most creative book on law school in recent memory" (John Jay Osborne, author of The Paper Chase) and "A perceptive and insightful inside look at one of America's most influential institutions" (Charles A. Reich, former Yale Law professor and author of The Greening of America); "No one should go to law School without reading this book," says self-help law publisher Ralph Warner. Goodrich, taking readers through Yale Law's first-year curriculum and culture, demonstrates how learning to "think like a lawyer" can be both exhilarating and damaging.
