description: 100 Words Per Minute—Tales From Behind Law Office Doors presents an intimate look inside the quirky world of law offices. The stories of tyrant and tired litigators along with their devoted, though sometimes devious secretaries come alive through a series of essays, punctuated by quick poetic jabs. The author’s career spans over twenty-five years of law office work, from naïve clerk typist in non-profit law, to stressed-out secretary in small plaintiff and large corporate firms, and finally to slightly elevated but no less conflicted office manager. “The hook of my connection to legal work was so gentle that I never noticed when it actually went in, twisted, and then lodged itself for the remainder of my working years.” Weaving humor and pathos together, 100 Words Per Minute takes a hard look back at the author’s unintentional career in the legal field, offering a raw perspective on uncelebrated office workers whose stories are rarely if ever told.
