In addition to being a librarian, I am a 2018 CWRU Law School alumnus. These are some resources I found interesting and helpful.
The Litigators by Call Number: PS3557.R5355 L58 2011 (CWRU Law Library)ISBN: 9780345530561Publication Date: 2012A story about a couple of "ambulance chasers" who take on a class action suit against a pharmaceutical company. Protagonists' numerous ethics violations aside, the book has memorable illustrations of expert witnesses, evidence, discovery, and trial strategy. A fun read.
The Paper ChasePublication Date: 1973This is a classic to which faculty sometimes refer during orientation. However, I have not encountered a professor at CWRU Law School who uses the old-fashioned Socratic method depicted in this film.

- LEEWS (Wentworth Miller's Law Essay Exam Writing System)Despite the author's cynical view of what happens in law school classrooms, this program does have some useful information on the exam-taking process.
