The Education of a Lawyer
is a delightful read that provides invaluable advice about the practice of law. Written for aspiring and young attorneys, the book is a font of wisdom on a range of topics: legal writing, speaking, handling clients, staying current on the law, and managing all the relationships typically encountered by lawyers.
Derived from the author’s decades of experience as a lawyer and teacher, the book is filled with stories and telling anecdotes. Some are hilarious, some are cautionary, but nearly all contain a nugget of practical insight that readers can apply to their own practice.
Specific topics include:
How to speak effectively to any type of group
Techniques to polish your writing and create more useful legal documents and correspondence
Manage relationships with judges, opposing counsel, your local legal community, and clients
How to stay current on the law
Improve your legal skills throughout your career
Decidedly original and consistently entertaining, The Education of a Lawyer will make readers laugh, think, and nod in recognition. And most importantly, it will help readers to become better lawyers.
