Bibliography
 

Introductory Note: In 1999, Reach published a detailed Bibliography, in A Framework for Action at pages 80-87. It would be redundant to reproduce a list of titles from that compilation, particularly as A Framework for Action will now be available through the website of Reach at: www.reach.ca. We have repeated the listing of one printed publication from the 1999 Bibliography, because of its obvious direct relevance to the work carried out in preparation of the current Guide. With that one exception, what follows is a brief list of relevant printed publications that came to the attention of Reach Canada since the release of A Framework for Action.

The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) http://www.lsat.org/

The content of this site is primarily American, although a lot of it is universally applicable and affects Canadian students. While there is extensive information on US government funding options, there is no mention of funding arrangements for Canadian students. Although students should not rely on this site for general information about law schools, it is a good reference point for information about the LSAT process itself.
