Buy the 2015 Edition Instead
I'm also an attorney, and am VERY disappointed in Kaplan's 2016-2017 edition. In order to do well on the LSAT (and the Bar exam too) one has to practice and drill with similar questions. Instead, this edition wastes most of its 933 pages on explaining the various types of questions which may be offered on the exam. In brief, it's big on theory, and short on practice exams one can actually challenge and time oneself with. (There is only 1 practice exam, and one must register on-line in order to take it.) It does offer "Question Pools" in each of the LSAT sections, which is nice, but those do not allow one to simulate the actual test under timed conditions.
Kaplan's 2015 edition - which I borrowed from the local library - does a much better job of balancing explanation with testing. The 2015 version provides 4 practice tests, and the "Question Pools," along with detailing and breaking down LSAT problems. Bottom Line: Purchase the 2015 edition.
