The law school has published the Fall 2008 booklist on their website. As always, upperclassmen that have settled on their schedule can take this opportunity to find some bargain priced textbooks online instead of paying whatever may be charged on campus (half.com and the Amazon Marketplace seem to be favorites).
Of course, the biggest gripe incoming 1Ls will soon have is that they don’t get their class schedule until it is too late to get online bargains on books. That’s where your SBA is coming in. We’ve looked through the booklist and found the books you will have no matter your schedule. It’s not all of the books, but it’ll get you started.

University of Cincinnati College of Law is the fourth oldest continually running law school in the United States and a founding member of the Association of American Law Schools. It was started in 1833 as the Cincinnati Law School. Then-dean and future 27th President of the United States, William Howard Taft (1880), merged it with the University of Cincinnati in 1896.
