“Dakota Duncan has written the definitive book for nontraditional students. It begins with the application process and ends with successfully studying for the bar…Along the way, Duncan helps you consider both the time management and emotional management components for succeeding in law school. Her writing is witty and engaging, and she is brutally honest about identifying her own mistakes so you’re not doomed to repeat them. She is an expert in the best sense of the word because she has lived through the experience and is now using her knowledge to make life better for you. Let her be your guide. Good luck on the journey!”

“Who knew that a book of advice about juggling law school, a career, and a family could be a page-turner? But Dakota Duncan’s Law School Insights: An Insider’s Guide for Non-Traditional Students is just that. The writing is clear as a bell, and the advice and insights ring true as well. She takes readers all the way through the process, from deciding whether to go to law school to surviving the bar exam, offering practical tips with the personal touch of one who has been there and done that. Although this guide is geared toward the particular challenges of navigating law school while also working and raising a family, it is packed with good advice for anyone who wants to emerge from law school with your life and sanity intact. Read this book!”
