"Cannon's book reads like sound advice from a trusted older  sibling. WhileThe Ultimate Guide to Your Legal Careeroffers  specific advice for the short term, it also asks young lawyers and law  students to consider where they want to be further down the road. The book  is more than just a primer on how to get a job; Cannon provides insight  into how young lawyers can lay the foundation today for a happy and  successful career many years from now. Most I importantly, Cannon describes  what to do and whatnotto do in detail, rather than leaving the  reader with the typical recitation of bromides and generalities." --Timothy P. Peterson, Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, former SEC Senior  Counsel"I wish I'd had access to a book such as this when I was going  through law school. Cannon's truly unusual breadth of experience across  different legal functions and practice areas gives him an extraordinary  vantage point from which to comment on the profession. His book is replete  with astute observations and practical advice." --Eric John Finseth, Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw LLP"This should be required reading for all law students, young  lawyers, and those considering a career in the law. Cannon's book is chock  full of practical advice and insider knowledge." --Theodore N. Stern, Vice president and general counsel, ePals,  Inc.
