James Harris Fierberg

A Civility-Based Model for New Lawyers

Understanding Your Moral Compass, Interpersonal Skills, and Ethical Inventory Before Practicing Law

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

While new law school graduates are pretty well versed in black letter law, they often lack the interpersonal and psychological skills that are imperative to a successful legal career. This book challenges the new lawyer to view themselves through the lens of their colleagues and clients and also to be aware of the basic behavioral norms that are the basis of a successful practice.
