Preparing for Law School Reading

Reading Like a Future Lawyer

Law school is full of complex texts and arguments—just like the LSAT!

What to Expect

  • Dense Cases: Legal decisions are often long and packed with reasoning.
  • Precise Language: Every word matters.
  • Multiple Perspectives: You’ll read arguments for and against almost everything.

How LSAT Reading Helps

The skills you build now—identifying main points, spotting structure, making inferences—are exactly what you’ll need in class and your future career.

Examples

  • You tackle your first legal case in class and quickly find the judge’s main conclusion.

  • A professor asks you to compare two legal arguments, just like LSAT comparative reading.
