Description

The Education of a Lawyer: Essential Skills and Practical Advice for Building a Successful Career Gary Muldoon ISBN 9781627227537

The Education of a Lawyer is an engaging and insightful guide that offers practical advice on the everyday realities of legal practice. Written for aspiring and early-career attorneys, the book draws on decades of experience to address essential skills such as legal writing and speaking, client management, staying current on the law, and navigating the many professional relationships lawyers encounter.

Grounded in the author’s long career as both a practitioner and a teacher, the book is rich with stories and memorable anecdotes. Some are humorous, others serve as cautionary tales, but nearly all deliver practical lessons that readers can readily apply to their own work.

Topics covered include:

  • Speaking effectively to any type of audience

  • Refining legal writing to produce clearer and more useful documents and correspondence

  • Managing relationships with judges, opposing counsel, clients, and the broader legal community

  • Staying up to date with changes in the law

  • Continuously improving legal skills throughout one’s career

Original, entertaining, and highly relatable, The Education of a Lawyer will make readers laugh, reflect, and recognize themselves in its pages—while helping them grow into more capable and confident lawyers.
