false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg 103351 3 With wit, humor, and decades of personal experiences from which to draw, Alan Dershowitz dispenses advice on career, law, and life in a book aimed at those just starting out in the legal profession. <P> 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. <P> 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. <P> 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." 330734 2001 Letters To A Young Lawyer (Art of Mentoring) total:74|5:10|4:20|3:35|2:8|1:1| 74 252 104 14 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 3 1 false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Thu Jun 14 06:54:22 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 26 06:25:44 -0700 2007 more...]]> 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 3 0 false Tue Jun 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 14:20:45 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 14:26:32 -0700 2009 more...]]> 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 0 0 false Sat Jan 03 19:05:27 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 03 19:20:42 -0800 2009 340348 0465016316 9780465016310 9 3 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173888329m/340348.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/340348.Letters_to_a_Young_Lawyer 5 0 false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Aug 05 20:50:10 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 05 20:52:00 -0700 2007 more...]]> 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 3 0 false Sun Oct 14 20:03:54 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 14 20:11:26 -0700 2007 more...]]> 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 4 0 false Tue Nov 11 19:57:03 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 11 19:58:58 -0800 2008 340348 0465016316 9780465016310 9 3 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173888329m/340348.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/340348.Letters_to_a_Young_Lawyer 2 0 false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Aug 05 20:32:56 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 05 20:32:56 -0700 2007 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 3 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 07 14:05:42 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 02 13:48:47 -0800 2009
I was amused to receive this as a gift. Kind of maudlin and silly, but Dershowitz can rant with the best of them. He takes some cheap shots that I found entirely gratifying. ]]> 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 5 0 false Thu May 03 10:01:35 -0700 2007 Thu May 03 10:02:32 -0700 2007 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 4 0 false Fri Feb 08 21:09:52 -0800 2008 Wed May 28 16:42:04 -0700 2008 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 1 0 false Fri Nov 16 08:15:57 -0800 2007 Wed Jan 02 16:31:10 -0800 2008 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 4 0 false Tue Jul 29 19:14:30 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 29 19:14:48 -0700 2008 340348 0465016316 9780465016310 9 3 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173888329m/340348.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/340348.Letters_to_a_Young_Lawyer 3 0 false Thu Jan 03 14:30:57 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 14:31:16 -0800 2008 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 5 0 false Sun Jan 05 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Tue Apr 08 20:16:43 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 08 20:17:46 -0700 2008 340348 0465016316 9780465016310 9 3 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173888329m/340348.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/340348.Letters_to_a_Young_Lawyer 0 0 false Sun Nov 29 15:24:36 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 29 15:24:36 -0800 2009 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 4 0 false Tue Nov 17 20:01:16 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 17 20:01:16 -0800 2009 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 0 0 false Tue Nov 10 20:58:45 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 10 20:58:45 -0800 2009 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 3 0 false Sun Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Nov 03 11:45:11 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 12:06:59 -0800 2009 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 0 0 false Tue Oct 27 19:56:25 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 19:56:25 -0700 2009 103351 0465016332 9780465016334 64 11 3.41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171494093m/103351.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103351.Letters_To_A_Young_Lawyer 4 0 false Fri Sep 25 20:53:15 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 20:53:15 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=103351
