Turow wrote a foreword for the issue. The story, "Neurotic Paranoid Wimps-Nothing Has Changed", is available as a free one-click download on the Social Science Research Network.

Read about it in Weird Legal News. Hit the road running when you arrive at law school. 1L of a Ride: A Well-Traveled Professor's Roadmap to Success in the First Year of Law School (West 2009). 1L of a Ride is the only book that provides a complete step-by-step navigational tool for achieving both academic and emotional success in law school's wondrous first year. Here are a few excerpts from reviews: “As a pre-law adviser I've read many books about preparing for law school or what to expect in the first year. This is by far the best!” “If you read 1L of a Ride, trust me, you will have an edge over any student who hasn't read it.” “This book should be required by law schools as a guide to success. I could not have made it through without it!” “Law schools should provide a copy of this book with each acceptance letter.” “This book is a tour de force ….

Justice Michael Musmanno was one of the greatest opinion writers in U.S. judicial history, but he went over the edge in his evaluation of Henry Miller's classic novel, The Tropic of Cancer, calling it "the stagnant bilge of the slimiest mudscow, the putrescent corruption of the most noisome dump pile, the dreggiest filth in the deepest morass of putrefaction." And those were the things he liked about it! Meanwhile, a lawyer flunks History 101 in a colorful closing argument involving Jesus Christ, Julius Caesar, Mennonites, and others that was slightly off in its historical timeline - by about 1600 years.
