Great gift for anyone considering the law as a career,

This review is from: Beyond L.A. Law: Inspiring Stories of People Who've Done Fascinating Things with a Law Degree (Paperback)
This book is full of motivational, inspiring stories about people who have used their law degree both in traditional settings and to move beyond traditional settings. Easy reading. Each chapter is an individual story. I'd love to meet some of the folks included in this book!

This review is from: Beyond L.A. Law: Inspiring Stories of People Who've Done Fascinating Things with a Law Degree (Paperback)
I was not inspired. A lot of the stories are about people who work at law firms. I was looking for alternatives to law firms.

By Thoughtful Reader "Liz" (Vermont) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond L.A. Law: Inspiring Stories of People Who've Done Fascinating Things with a Law Degree (Paperback)
I have a dear, smart, funny, eclectic friend who feels like she's a victim of a law school filled with single minded, conservative students. I know she's going to do such wonderful things with her life and wanted to find some inspiration to get her through this tough first year. I haven't read the book but found it through an amazon search. This friend of mine wrote me the kindest thank you note (the note would have cried) saying that this book gave her such important perspective. It was exactly what I wanted to do for her.
