In Practice: Moving Beyond Law School Theory

What is legal practice really about? Is it a life of 20 hour days, of being "seen" in the office, of engaging in activities that brutalize your soul and sap your strength? What does life look like when you escape the safety of law school and step out into the real world of being a lawyer? Thomas, a young lawyer, is about to find out first hand the answers to these questions. His mentor, Andrew, has a hard set of lessons that he thinks Thomas needs to learn as a lawyer, and he doesn't hold back with his advice. In Practice is a collection of letters from Andrew to Thomas in which he attempts to "set Thomas straight" in his career. In Practice will get you thinking about your legal career. It will get you thinking about what really matters and what doesn't. It will get you thinking about what you want to spend your life doing, and what you don't. In Practice will take you beyond law school theory.
