Download or read book The New Lawyer written by Julie MacFarlane and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2008-05-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's justice system and the legal profession have rendered the "lawyer-warrior" notion outdated, shifting toward conflict resolution rather than protracted litigation. The new lawyer's skills go beyond court battles to encompass negotiation, mediation, collaborative practice, and restorative justice. In The New Lawyer, Julie Macfarlane explores the evolving role of practitioners, articulating legal and ethical complexities in a variety of contexts. The result is a thought-provoking exploration of the increasing impact of alternative strategies on the lawyer-client relationship, as well as on the legal system itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When lawyers represent a client, they have a legal obligation to act professionally, responsibly, and ethically. Unfortunately, all too many lawyers do not live up to these standards. If you have been victimized by your attorney, How & When to Sue Your Lawyer is here to help. The book begins by explaining the American Bar Association’s categories of malpractice—substantive, administrative, client relations, and intentional wrongs. It next details the “model rules” of professional responsibilities established by both national and state bars, and then discusses the all-important differences between guidelines and actual laws set by legal precedent. Finally, if you feel that you have lost a case because of your counsel’s mismanagement, or if you have been taken advantage of financially or sexually by your attorney, this book explains the necessary steps you must take to establish a solid case, from developing the facts and gathering the hard evidence to proving the allegation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law students, law professors, and lawyers frequently refer to the process of "thinking like a lawyer," but attempts to analyze in any systematic way what is meant by that phrase are rare. In his classic book, Kenneth J. Vandevelde defines this elusive phrase and identifies the techniques involved in thinking like a lawyer. Unlike most legal writings, which are plagued by difficult, virtually incomprehensible language, this book is accessible and clearly written and will help students, professionals, and general readers gain important insight into this well-developed and valuable way of thinking. Updated for a new generation of lawyers, the second edition features a new chapter on contemporary perspectives on legal reasoning. A useful new appendix serves as a survival guide for current and prospective law students and describes how to apply the techniques in the book to excel in law school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Lawyer analyzes the profound impact changes in client needs and demands are having on how law is practised. Most legal clients are unwilling or unable to pay for protracted litigation and count on their lawyers to pursue just and expedient resolution. These clients are transforming the role of lawyers, the nature of client service, and the principles of legal practice. In this fully revised edition of the now classic text, Julie Macfarlane outlines how lawyers can meet new expectations by committing to lawyer-client collaboration, conflict resolution advocacy, and revised financial structures so that the legal profession can remain relevant in this rapidly changing environment.

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 $olo Contendere written by Marc D. Garfinkle Esq and published by Marc Garfinkle. This book was released on 2010 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lawyers don't need jobs. All we really need is work - we need clients to pay us for what we do." Writing for disillusioned new attorneys in a shrinking marketplace, law professor and trial attorney Marc Garfinkle shows how a newly admitted attorney can go into practice without any experience. Preaching a gospel of defensive practice, he offers warnings, tips, tricks of the trade, and some of those things that "all lawyers know." "Know your stuff and know your depth," he says. "Don't take cases that two or more lawyers have worked on before you." He warns about problematic clients, and shows how to withdraw safely from a case. He warns against having the only known copy of a document. He tells how to make a business plan, how to get work from lawyers, how to build a good reputation. The state bar associations of Ohio, Missouri, and Colorado publish their own versions of Solo Contendere for distribution to their members. Informational and inspirational, easy to read and brimming with the author's enthusiasm for his subject, this book is a blueprint for the new lawyer who wants to have clients, but has no legal experience. "Finally! A book that tells you it's okay to go right out on your own. Marc Garfinkle shows you how to put your law degree to good use from Day One. Here's to finding work instead of looking for a job! Great book!!" Danny Alvarez, Sr., Stetson J.D., Miami LL.M "This is no law school textbook! It's an easy read, simple, straight-forward, and full of insight and clever advice." Zak Eagle, Boston U. School of Law "This book is fantastic! And it's hard to put down." Derrick Upchurch, Seton Hall Law School "$olo Contendere should be MUST reading for every law student and newly-admitted attorney. I only wish it had been available when I started practicing." Cynthia Sharp, Esq., J.D., LL.M. "The Sharper Lawyer" "Intelligent, witty and engaging...essential reading for anyone wanting to open a law practice in the new millenium." Laura Glick, Esq.
