The Handbook of Law Firm Mismanagement: From the Offices of Fairweather, Winters & Sommers
by By Kanter, Arnold B. and Hoffman, Paul (ILT)
Category: Fiction , Legal

With humor in the tradition of Robert Benchley and S. J. Perelman, this collection of three previous works reveals the absurdities of life in a law firm through the mythically inept firm of Fairweather, Winters & Sommers. In Advanced Law Firm Mismanagement, the firm's founder, Stanley Fairweather, discusses the good—and not-so-good—old days and looks ahead with a bit of trepidation at where the profession is going. In The Ins & Outs of Law Firm Mismanagement, lawyers are viewed through the eyes of the firm's non-lawyers—secretaries, paralegals, the computer geek—who know better than anyone else how ridiculous lawyers can be. And in Was That a Tax Lawyer Who Just Flew Over? the lawyers are shown from the point of view of their clients and other outsiders.
