"Most of what makes a lawyer a star involves smart choices, hard work, and the ability to relate to people. You also need skills to succeed in a law firm that you probably did not learn in law school. You can develop those skills, and this book can help you." So says James J. McDonald, Jr., author of How to Be a Star Associate: A Guide to Excelling in Your Early Legal Career. Applying lessons learned during his forty years of law practice, and from hiring, training and mentoring dozens of lawyers, McDonald shows new lawyers and lawyers-to-be how to survive and thrive in today's larger law firms. From picking the right firm, to getting the job, to learning the craft of practicing law, to finding the right mentors, to learning how to write persuasively, to going to court, to managing the workload to stay busy without becoming overwhelmed, this book covers all of the basics of law firm associate life. It also shows lawyers how to provide five-star client service in a two-and-a-half-star world, how to hone their client development skills in the "internal marketplace" in their law firm, and how to be thinking about business development from day one. This book provides a practical guide for lawyers who hope someday to become successful partners in their law firms.

Autorenporträt
James J. McDonald, Jr. advises and advocates for employers in labor and employment matters. He is a partner in the Irvine, California and Tampa, Florida offices of the international law firm Fisher & Phillips LLP. McDonald started with Fisher Phillips as a summer associate, and he practiced with the firm for six years in its Atlanta office. Then he went to California to build a practice for the firm, establishing an office in Irvine, California, which he managed for 24 years. That office grew to become the firm's largest, and it was the foundation for the firm's growth throughout California, and in Nevada and Arizona. Now McDonald splits his time between California and Florida, where he maintains busy counseling and litigation practices on both coasts. McDonald is author of the ABA-published book, How to Be a Star Associate: A Guide to Excelling in Your Early Legal Career. He is also the author of California Employment Law: An Employer's Guide, published annually by the Society for Human Resource Management, and he was editor of two editions of the treatise, Mental and Emotional Injuries in Employment Litigation, published by BNA Books (now Bloomberg). McDonald received his law degree cum laude from Georgetown University and his undergraduate degree from New College of Florida.
