  The Buffalo Creek Disaster: How the Survivors of One of the Worst Disasters in Coal-Mining History Brought Suit Against the Coal Company- And Won

  Nothing to do with law school. It gives you an overview of litigation.

  I second this one! IMO this book should be required reading for all law school applicants.

  Oh wow... I'm currently reading that one! How funny. I've really enjoyed how they have been showing the process and steps involved. It's a hell of a story, too, but seeing the more mundane aspects and how long it takes makes it an interesting read for those interested in how it works.
