Book excerpt: The gripping story of one American lawyer’s obsessive crusade—waged at any cost—against Big Oil on behalf of the poor farmers and indigenous tribes of the Amazon rainforest. Steven Donziger, a self-styled social activist and Harvard educated lawyer, signed on to a budding class action lawsuit against multinational Texaco (which later merged with Chevron to become the third-largest corporation in America). The suit sought reparations for the Ecuadorian peasants and tribes people whose lives were affected by decades of oil production near their villages and fields. During twenty years of legal hostilities in federal courts in Manhattan and remote provincial tribunals in the Ecuadorian jungle, Donziger and Chevron’s lawyers followed fierce no-holds-barred rules. Donziger, a larger-than-life, loud-mouthed showman, proved himself a master orchestrator of the media, Hollywood, and public opinion. He cajoled and coerced Ecuadorian judges on the theory that his noble ends justified any means of persuasion. And in the end, he won an unlikely victory, a $19 billion judgment against Chevon--the biggest environmental damages award in history. But the company refused to surrender or compromise. Instead, Chevron targeted Donziger personally, and its counter-attack revealed damning evidence of his politicking and manipulation of evidence. Suddenly the verdict, and decades of Donziger’s single-minded pursuit of the case, began to unravel. Written with the texture and flair of the best narrative nonfiction, Law of the Jungle is an unputdownable story in which there are countless victims, a vast region of ruined rivers and polluted rainforest, but very few heroes.

Download or read book A Guide for Young Lawyers (and Others) written by Kaamil Ansar and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book applies to young lawyers starting out in practice (and others). The principles in this book reflect the author's experiences over 38 years (being admitted to practice in three jurisdictions) in a transactional and litigation practice on multiple continents. This book is applicable to young business lawyers. The book is lawyer-specific with an emphasis on a U.S. transactional or litigation practice. However, the general principles described have universal application to any lawyer anywhere that is starting-out in practice, any young person considering a career in the law or starting out in his or her career, or any person anywhere looking to get to the next level. The book introduces the reader to a number of personalities from the world of professional sports that have in all cases achieved stunning successes in their careers and each represents the triumph of the human spirit. Their experiences are highlighted from time to time and are significant and very relevant to the reader and the book. The fundamental premise of the book is that there is no sense in trying to learn all the lessons of life the hard way - from one's own personal experience. It is much more efficient to learn from the experience of others who have been successful in competitive situations. The author places much importance on some of the experiences of the wonderful personalities that are conveyed to the reader in the book. Their experiences include competing and winning and losing at the highest levels in professional sports, among other facets, and complement substantially all the principles and objectives of this book. The author believes these experiences will enrich the reader's journey as it progresses in the book and will add much value to the development of the reader's practice. The author believes that the work the reader puts into achieving the objectives of this book will be hugely beneficial to the reader over the long-term. The book will describe to the reader the principles that it needs to focus on to reach the next level in his or her career and will provide the necessary guidance. By the end of the book, the reader will find that each of these principles will be self-fulfilling and reinforce each other and provide the reader with a solid foundation for future success.

Book excerpt: Veteran legal issues reporter Kim Eisler takes us behind the scenes into mega law firm Williams & Connolly, guiding us on a journey through the many storied cases that have served to shape current policies in public and private sector alike For the past twenty years, author and journalist Kim Eisler has covered the law firm of Williams & Connolly, first at American Lawyer Magazine, then for Legal Times and since 1993 as National Editor of Washingtonian Magazine. More than any other writer, Kim has unprecedented and unusual contacts and relationships with the partners, as well as a background knowledge and familiarity with the firm's history and personnel over the past two decades. In Masters of the Game, Eisler sets out to demonstrate how the disciples of Edward Bennett Williams went beyond anyone's expectations and came to occupy key roles in American culture and business. In the last ten years of his life, Williams, the founder of Williams and Connolly, often said he was building not just a law firm but a monument. Masters of the Game is not only about a law firm, but about how the philosophy and practices of this particular law firm have spread out beyond Washington to dominate business, finance, sports and the American psyche itself through its influence with past, present and future political, corporate and media figures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As defender of both the righteous and the questionable, Alan Dershowitz has become perhaps the most famous and outspoken attorney in the land. Whether or not they agree with his legal tactics, most people would agree that he possesses a powerful and profound sense of justice. In this meditation on his profession, Dershowitz writes about life, law, and the opportunities that young lawyers have to do good and do well at the same time. We live in an age of growing dissatisfaction with law as a career, which ironically comes at a time of unprecedented wealth for many lawyers. Dershowitz addresses this paradox, as well as the uncomfortable reality of working hard for clients who are often without many redeeming qualities. He writes about the lure of money, fame, and power, as well as about the seduction of success. In the process, he conveys some of the "tricks of the trade" that have helped him win cases and become successful at the art and practice of "lawyering."

Download or read book Full Disclosure written by Christen Civiletto Carey and published by ALM Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering the often frustrating process of researching and securing a law firm job and how to succeed once a job is secured, this is a mentoring guide for new lawyers at the beginning stages of their careers. It embodies a collective wisdom about the things lawyers wished they knew at the beginning of their careers, rather than the end. Subjects covered include traditional and creative job hunting, writing resumes and cover letters, first and second interviews, and developing relationships with firms as a summer associate. Using real-life examples, this reference also focuses on the ultimate goal of being a satisfied and fulfilled lawyer and discusses many of the daily workplace issues that new lawyers are often afraid to talk about -- handling firm partners and assignments, courtroom etiquette, organisational tools, and dating within the firm.

Download or read book Bad Lawyer written by Anna Dorn and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law school was never Anna Dorn's dream. It was a profession pushed on her by her parents, teachers, society... whatever. It's not the worst thing that can happen to a person; as Dorn says, law school was pretty "cushy" and mostly entailed wearing leggings every day to her classes at Berkeley and playing beer pong with her friends at night. The hardest part was imagining what it would be like to actually be a lawyer one day. But then she'd think of Glenn Close on Damages and Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde, and hoped for the best. After graduation, however, Dorn realized that there was nothing sexy about being a lawyer. Between the unflattering suits, sucking up to old men, and spending her days sequestered in a soul-sucking cubicle, Dorn quickly learned that being a lawyer wasn't everything Hollywood made it out to be. Oh, and she sucked at it. Not because she wasn't smart enough, but because she couldn't get herself to care enough to play by the rules. Bad Lawyer is more than just a memoir of Dorn's experiences as a less-than-stellar lawyer; it's about the less-than-stellar legal reality that exists for all of us in this country, hidden just out of sight. It's about prosecutors lying and filing inane briefs that lack any semblance of logic or reason; it's about defense attorneys sworn to secrecy-until the drinks come out and the stories start flying; and it's about judges who drink in their chambers, sexually harass the younger clerks, and shop on eBay instead of listening to homicide testimony. More than anything, this book aims to counteract the fetishization of the law as a universe based entirely on logic and reason. Exposing everything from law school to law in the media, and drawing on Dorn's personal experiences as well as her journalistic research, Bad Lawyer ultimately provides us with a fresh perspective on our justice system and the people in it, and gives young lawyers advice going forward into the 21st century.

Book excerpt: The Essential Associate is for young lawyers who aspire to grow, succeed, and advance on a partnership track at a law firm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are numerous books in negotiation. This book is based in actual, real-world experience, and offers practical, usable advice.

With more than a decade of experience in law practice at a national law firm, plus years coaching new attorneys, Lund's no-nonsense advice on negotiation perfectly complements the advice in the first two Jagged Rocks of Wisdom books.
