Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wit and Wisdom of the Bench and Bar These pages do not profess to be a complete record of. The jokes or humorous anecdotes connected with the English Bench and Bar. They are confined to those which appear to contain some of the elements of \vit and Wisdom, and rather to such incidents as are at once witty and wise than to those which come under only one of these heads. The field is immensely wide, and it is by no means easy in so small a compass to do anything like justice to it; for where there is so much which is admirable, the task of selection is a difficult one. On the other hand, it is 'not pretended that anything like a comprehensive outline of the subject is laid before the reader. Certain divisions have been selected, and under them there have been arranged what cannot be called more than specimens.

Book Synopsis Double Billing by : Cameron Stracher
Download or read book Double Billing written by Cameron Stracher and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1999-10-20 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By turns hilarious and horrifying, Double Billing is a clever and sobering expose of the legal profession. Writing with wit and wisdom, Cameron Stracher describes the grueling rite of passage of an associate at a major New York law firm. As Stracher describes, Harvard Law School may have taught him to think like a lawyer, but it was his experience as an associate that taught him to behave--or misbehave--like one. Double Billing is a biting glimpse into the world of corporate law from the perspective of the low man on the totem pole. In Double Billing, Cameron Stracher reveals a shocking nonfiction account of the ordeal of a young associate at a major Wall Street law firm. Fresh out of Harvard Law School, Stracher landed a coveted position at a high-powered corporate law firm and thus began his grueling years as an associate, a dreaded rite of passage for every young attorney. Only about five percent survive long enough to achieve the Holy Grail of partnership in the firm. As the author vividly describes, law school may teach you how to think like a lawyer, but it's being an associate that teaches you how to behave like one. Or misbehave. Stracher doesn't mince words about the duplicitous behavior and flagrant practices of many lawyers in his firm, which is one of the premier partnerships in America. In a stylish and witty manner that has earned him comparison to an early Philip Roth, Stracher does for the legal profession what Michael Lewis's Liars' Poker did for the financial industry. The result is a tell-all glimpse into the cutthroat world of corporate law from the perspective of the low man on the totem pole.

Book Synopsis Law, Enlightenment, and Other States of Mind by : Kevin Rhodes
Download or read book Law, Enlightenment, and Other States of Mind written by Kevin Rhodes and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of Kevin's blog posts for the Colorado Bar Association is "for anyone, lawyer or not, who wants to create or at least embrace change in their workplaces and personal lives. And not just change, but transformation." Written with humor, empathy, insight, and perspective not just from the law, but also psychology, neuroscience, entrepreneurship, and shared life experience.From the Foreword by Ronald M. Sandgrund, Esq.:Drawing on his professional and personal sojourn through that minefield called life, and with inestimable wit and wisdom, Kevin offers advice, humor and insight to Colorado lawyers and anyone else who is willing to take just a few moments out of their day to stop and listen and think. This book amuses, amazes and edifies just as the original blog posts did when I read them in real time over the past few years. I knew then I was hearing a fun and lively voice calling into the dark wilderness that can too often surround and suffocate otherwise creative spirits. Kevin's book journeys us through Inspiration, Change, Accountability and Personal Apocalypses but, ultimately leads us to Transformation. He speaks with a big heart and from a great breadth of experience. Every lawyer - every one of us - can learn from Kevin's acute observations about the need to be "entrepreneurial," not just in our business affairs and professional pursuits, but with our families and our own wellness. From the Foreword by Prof. Debra S. Austin, J.D. Ph.D.:Kevin Rhodes is an audacious man. In this book, he dares us to be audacious right along with him. Kevin asks us to become self-reflective. He challenges us to question the status quo and he urges us to reinvent ourselves. He explains how we can get stuck and he offers a path forward. In short, Kevin empowers growth.Kevin reminds us that the pursuit of growth and change is an imprecise, and often scary endeavor. But each of his short essays prods and coaches on the benefits of taking brave steps to effect growth and change.From Susan Hoyt, Legal Editor/Social MediaColorado Bar Association CLE:Every Thursday, the Colorado Bar Association CLE Legal Connection blog features one of Kevin Rhodes' inspirational posts. And every Wednesday, I get a little jump of excitement when Kevin emails his post to me for the next day - I get a sneak peek. I look forward to reading Kevin's posts. They are a welcome reprieve from the usual case law or rule change articles. I feel connected to Kevin because of these little glimpses into his personality - the warm, accepting, mentally healthy individual that comes through in his articles.Besides being fun to read, Kevin's posts serve an important role in this era where lawyer depression has reached nearly epidemic proportions. Kevin imparts a bit of humanity - a bit of total wellbeing - into his writing.From the Preface, "Lawyers are People, Too," by Kevin Rhodes:True, the blog serves up topics in packages of particular interest to lawyers, but once the package is opened, the posts go looking for anyone, lawyer or not, who wants to create or at least embrace change in their lives and workplaces. And not just change, but transformation -- the biggest, boldest kind of change. The shared human experiences of noticing, wanting, aspiring, committing, suffering, accomplishing (or not), celebrating (or not)... those are the experiences I'm after. I'm also after experiences that are none of those things, when disasters crash into our lives and we have no choice but to deal. I want to know how we grow and change and transform our way through all those kinds of experiences. And I want to know how getting through them affects our professional and personal lives every day.
Book Synopsis Looking Tall by Standing Next to Short People by : Edward Wesemann
Download or read book Looking Tall by Standing Next to Short People written by Edward Wesemann and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-03 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With wit, wisdom and a knack for cutting through the nonsense, Ed Wesemann's latest book, Looking Tall by Standing Next to Short People again addresses the most perplexing issues facing law firms today. Hoping that you "disagree with large portions" of his take on the minefield of legal management, Ed's purpose in offering his extensive insights is to ignite the exchange of ideas, creative dialogue, enthusiasm and - most importantly - action. Ed tackles legal management's hot button issues by delving into six general topics: The role of partners Massive non-equity partnership ranks results in a large group of lawyers who don't meet any "full partner" criteria but are too senior to be associates. What happens when there are no "up or out" reviews in place to prevent partners from sapping up the work that should be going to associates? The operation of partnerships We used to talk about managing law firms - now we govern them. Mergers It's been a sleepy couple of years where merger activity has largely been less than expected. But the natural maturation of the legal industry won't let the lull last for long. Business development Business development is the same as it has been since the founders of our most venerable law firms hung out their shingles. Everything else is details. Strategy Figuring out what has to be done to be more profitable is easy. The issue is what to do to make those things actually occur - that's strategy.
Book Synopsis The Significant Lawyer by : Duffey Jr William S
Download or read book The Significant Lawyer written by Duffey Jr William S and published by . This book was released on 2021-12 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than forty years in practice, including fourteen years on the federal bench, and informed by hundreds of conversations with other lawyers, Judge Duffey has cultivated a deep interest in the culture and challenges within the legal profession. THE SIGNIFICANT LAWYER is the product of his experiences and conversations. It describes changes in the legal profession beginning in the mid-1980s when lawyers began to measure success by the profits they and their firms generated. Integrity, efficiency, and strong client relationships eroded. Lawyers found themselves professionally unfulfilled. They forgot about their oaths that require civility, commitment to justice, fair play, and respect for the courts. It takes commitment and resolve for a lawyer to live by the oaths taken when admitted to practice and to adopt the right priorities. Choosing this path, an attorney embraces the practice of law as a profession and commits to serve others with integrity, competence, and compassion.
