Annoyingly (worryingly???) I have the most trouble on the law passages in RC. I'm not great with the law vocab and pretty terrible with the history of law. Especially those ones with things like the history the medieval British legal system. I'm like...what? I heard a great recommendation for law podcasts, but I really need something I can read and carry with me. Digital is fine too! Thanks in advance!

Hi all! For science articles, I cannot recommend Best American Science and Nature Writing enough. It's a book published annually compiling (of all things) the best American science and nature articles. I recommended it definitely for LSAT and also...just for life. It presents a huge variety of science articles, some more science-y than others, some published in Science and some published in Playboy (really). But they're all interesting, they're all well written, and they're great if you don't have a ton of time to devote to a single science subject.
Thanks so much for those with great practical advice! To clarify, I'm actually pretty awesome at RC. I have a background in humanities and have been reading science articles for years so on those things I can definitely, definitely tell that going in with outside knowledge is helpful, no matter what some people say :). I was just looking for some advice on what to read to familiarize myself with the style and vocab of law articles.
SCOTUS is great and so are law blogs. Don't know why I hadn't thought of these before. Thanks again!
If anyone has other ideas, keep 'em coming!
