Based on the successful law school course, The Business of Being a Lawyer, this book is designed for use as a course book, as a supplement in ongoing related courses such as legal professions or law office practice, and as a resource for law school auxiliary programs such as Career Services, Student Support, and Financial Aid and Counseling. This book addresses three topics essential in today's legal education: (1) economic trends in the legal profession, (2) emotional intelligence issues relevant to the practice of law such as managing stress, maintaining balance, building resilience, and using one's strengths, (3) personal financial planning basics. This book recognizes that lawyers of the future will be "free agents" throughout their careers, changing jobs multiple times, and constantly having to demonstrate the value they add. To be an effective free agent will require all three tools: an understanding of the economic topography of the legal profession, good EQ skills, and financial management savvy. Incorporating legal scholarship on the economics of the legal profession, science from field of psychology, and financial planning made fun and engaging by following two hypothetical law students throughout their forty-year careers, this book includes case studies and specific advice. It is engaging, informative, practical and cutting edge. It is the first to bring these complex and interrelated topics together in one resource and relate them to the world facing today's law students.

Many people dream of becoming a lawyer. Each year about 40,000 students graduate law school in the United States. The majority of these new lawyers will try to find work in private practice. They take their first steps on the path to partnership, unaware of the many pitfalls lurking ahead. Not all will reach the partnership level. In fact, some leave the legal profession after only a few years of employment.The Seven Year Trap explains how the business of law works. To survive law firm life, new lawyers need a fundamental understanding of how the business operates and their role in it. To find long term success and an eventual seat at the ownership table, they need an awareness of what really matters on the route to promotion. These critical issues aren't always addressed in law school. After more than 25 years working in law firm administration, Charles Gillis has embarked on a mission to help young lawyers avoid the traps which can detour or derail their legal career. With detailed tips and information from the back office management perspective, readers will gain insight into what factors should be prioritized and which issues should be approached with caution. Charles shares details on the discussions and decisions which occur behind closed doors. By entering the profession with this insider wisdom, new lawyers can identify avoidable obstacles and successfully navigate their path to partnership.

Managing the business of practicing law should be as important to the lawyer as the practice of law itself. It is pivotal to the success or failure of a law practice. The lawyer who considers hanging his own shingle cannot appreciate all of the moving parts involved in managing a profitable law practice until he has actually done it. When you do venture out, on your own or in a partnership with others, you soon realize that there is much more to the business of practicing law than you ever expected. Everything about your law firm affects the most important asset that your law firm owns: the attorney/client relationship. In From Lawyer to Law Firm, we address the commercial aspects of practicing law that are unique to a law firm. During our combined 70+ years in the legal profession, we have both experienced situations which may seem unbelievable. No matter where you are in your legal career, Liz and Joryn offer you guidance and insights based on those experiences that will help to ensure success for both you and your law firm.

Excerpt from The Law Business or Profession? Columbia is taking steps to keep out of the legal profession men whose character and ethics are inconsistent with the standards of the profession, according to Dean Harlan F. Stone or the law school, who said yesterday that in the five years he has been at the head of the law faculty at least two students who had satisfactorily completed courses had been denied degrees and half a dozen more had been advised to leave the school. Dean Stone said that in many cases it was practicable to steer a prospective lawyer whose ethics did not appear to be of the best away from the profession before he had received his legal training. "In such a case," said the dean, "the student is called into the office and is told that Columbia would be much better off without him. He is advised too that he should not go into the law and in order that this may have effect we notify the Bar Association and the character committee in New York State and also the bar examiners of every State in the Union."

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.

Accounting and finance cannot be taught through the dense text and format typical of legal casebooks. Mirroring textbooks used at business schools with significant quantities of visuals, Essential Concepts of Business for Lawyers uses many graphical elements, including pictures, charts, diagrams, and tables. Engaging hypotheticals are fun and engaging, but they also illustrate the application of important concepts in business situations. At the end of every chapter, there are three forms of review and summary: Essential Terms, Key Concepts, and Review Questions. The text uses many examples, specially set in example boxes, to illustrate and reinforce difficult concepts. Completely up to the minute, the book features material on important, recent events such as the financial crisis of 2008-2009, the collapse of investment banks, the Bernie Madoff fraud case, and Enron. While this book is not a casebook, it includes edited appellate cases at the end of every chapter. These cases provide essential contextualization, illustrating the legal application of the business concepts presented, and make more concrete the lawyer's need to understand business. This makes Essential Concepts of Business for Lawyers unique among available books, as the cases connect the unfamiliar (business concepts) with the familiar (case law). Flexibility makes it stand out as well. It can be easily used as a primary text in an independent course on essential business concepts and is the only single book that adequately serves this function. Additionally, this book can be used as a required or recommended supplement in doctrinal business law courses such as business associations, securities regulations, corporate finance, taxation, banking law, financial regulation, and business planning.
