Binding: Paperback
Description: 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. 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. 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."
