The language of law school : learning to "think like a lawyer" / Elizabeth Mertz. - Oxford [England] ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2007. - xvii, 308 pages ; 24 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 279-300) and index.

Anyone who has attended law school knows that it invokes an important intellectual transformation, frequently referred to as "learning to think like a lawyer". This process, which forces students to think and talk in radically new and toward different ways about conflicts, is directed by professors in the course of their lectures and examinations, and conducted via spoken and written language. Beth Mertz's book delves into that language to reveal the complexities of how this process takes place.
