The Curmudgeon's Guide to Practicing Law
The Curmudgeon has been practicing law for just a little too  long, and he may be too jaded for his own good.  Beneath his crusty  exterior, however, lies a fount of wisdom. The Curmudgeon knows everything  about the legal profession, and he's willing to share his keen observations  from the corner office. He offers practical and honest, if blunt, advice  for surviving and thriving in a law firm. He tells you what you need to  know about billing, managing your assistant, drafting internal memos,  dealing with clients and building your law practice. Read the Curmudgeon  and find out what drives law partners crazy, what will impress them and  what ten mistakes you should avoid. Concise, humorous and full of valuable  (but curmudgeonly) insight, this is a must-read for every lawyer and law  student.  "The Curmudgeon cuts to the chase about how to practice law successfully. .  . .Instructive, insightful, ... and just plain fun!"-- Gary Garfield, General Counsel, Bridgestone Firestone North  American Tire, LLC.
