Review
"Disaffected lawyers seeking a growth experience should make a date with Law and the Heart. What else can I say? This book has a terrific personality." 1997. -- Eric Drogin, The Federal Lawyer, 1997
"How often do lawyers and clients ignore 'gut' feelings because the other person appears to be more assertive or stronger, or because each wants to be liked by the other? And, says Bennett, if instincts are ignored, the lawyer-client relationship eventually breaks down. Why else are the legal system and lawyers the butt of so many jokes that equate lawyers with sharks and barracudas and other predators that are popularized as either vicious or repulsive or both? Read the book. It is the lawyer's pocket companion to 'Emotional Intelligence' and it addresses in a different way what the B.C. courts are attempting to address now by training judges in mediation techniques. Very 'with it', very 'in'. -- Charlotte R. Gottschau, The Advocate, 11/97

From the Author
I write to suggest that the reintroduction of feelings and intuition into legal relationships can positively transform the legal system itself.
