Consider Getting to Maybe by Richard Michael Fischl. Recommended by 2 sources.
“Concrete, classroom-first guidance that reframes how law exams reward nuance instead of single correct answers. Fischl's voice is didactic and corrective: expect clear distinctions between 'right-answer' schooling and law-school analytic demands, plus examples aimed at shifting how you spot and discuss issues. what works best is better exam reasoning rather than shortcut techniques; the limitation is a pedagogical tone and relative lack of timed-practice drills, making it less useful as a sole study resource before an exam.”
