Description
The Inside Counsel Revolution: Resolving the Partner-Guardian Tension Ben W Heineman Jr ISBN 9781634252799
The Inside Revolution: Resolving the Partner-Guardian Tension offers a thoughtful and compelling analysis of the evolving role that General Counsels and in-house lawyers can—and should—play in business and society.
Over the past 25 years, the legal profession has undergone a profound transformation. General Counsel and other inside lawyers have risen in responsibility, influence, and status. Once considered secondary players in corporations, they are now core members of top management, on par with Chief Financial Officers. They have shifted significant power from law firms to corporate legal departments, taking strategic control of legal matters and influencing law firm economics and billing.
Ben W. Heineman, Jr., who led this revolution during nearly two decades as GE’s top lawyer and now serves as a Distinguished Senior Fellow at Harvard Law School and lecturer at Yale Law School, captures the essence of this transformation. In this analytic and prescriptive book, he outlines the modern role of inside counsel—covering key functions, relationships, challenges, and ethical dilemmas—and presents a vision for lawyers as lawyer-statesmen: partners to the CEO, guardians of the corporation, and advocates for integrity and corporate citizenship, motivated by more than just financial gain.
The Inside Revolution is both concrete and visionary—a succinct statement of first principles from a pioneering leader of the in-house movement that reshaped the legal profession and defined the lawyer-statesman’s role in advancing performance, integrity, and risk management in global business.
Published by the American Bar Association in April 2016.

Shipping & Returns
-
Fast, standard shipping
Most students receive their books in 3 to 9 business days.
-
Free rental returns, whenever you are done
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning early costs you nothing: it is the same free label, and sending it back sooner is welcome. Just be sure it reaches us by the semester deadline to avoid late fees.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.
-
Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book is always free.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price. Late fees stop once your book ships back or the total reaches the book's replacement value (its Brand New price) - you never pay more than that. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free: print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page, whether you send it back early or on the semester deadline. Cancelling a shipped rental for a refund is different: there, the return label cost comes out of your refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
