Raising the Bar The Mentor Guidebook for New Lawyers

jb@focusjb.com

Here is the book you need to enhance success in your legal career. This unique guidebook takes you through the process of transition from law school into law practice -- mastering basic skills, conducting legal research, representing clients, and handling a case. Beyond the practical, the book offers insights into more “soft skills,” such as how to establish trust, fix mistakes and survive office politics. It describes both the perils (staying sane and solvent) and possibilities (exploring other paths) of a legal career. Always encouraging in tone, the book becomes the mentor today’s new lawyers need to step out into a challenging, rapidly changing profession.
