Things I wish I'd read before law school

If you're starting law school soon and anxious to get started reading, I have a few suggestions. These aren't required; I didn't read any of them (but sometimes I wish I had at least read Cliff's Notes versions):

- the philosophies of Locke and Hobbes
- as much economic theory as you can stand
- the Federalist papers
- at least a paragraph summary each on the big names, including current members of the Supreme Court, Holmes, Hand, Cardozo, and of course my favorites from the previous post, Posner and Traynor.
