Download or read book Letters to a Young Lawer written by Alan Dershowitz and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As defender of both the righteous and the questionable, Alan Dershowitz has become perhaps the most famous and outspoken attorney in the land. Whether or not they agree with his legal tactics, most people would agree that he possesses a powerful and profound sense of justice. In this meditation on his profession, Dershowitz writes about life, law, and the opportunities that young lawyers have to do good and do well at the same time. We live in an age of growing dissatisfaction with law as a career, which ironically comes at a time of unprecedented wealth for many lawyers. Dershowitz addresses this paradox, as well as the uncomfortable reality of working hard for clients who are often without many redeeming qualities. He writes about the lure of money, fame, and power, as well as about the seduction of success. In the process, he conveys some of the ''tricks of the trade'' that have helped him win cases and become successful at the art and practice of ''lawyering.''

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

LETTER XVII NE of the attractions of the practice of lawis the pleasurable feeling that some day you may find a good windfall that will make you rich overnight. In this respect the practice of law has all the zest and excitement of prospecting for gold. You never know but that over the next hill, or in the next gulch, a fortune may be lurking, just waiting for you to stumble upon it. Your door may open any day, and somebody creep in with a cause of action that will be worth thousands of dollars to you. From the life of an anchorite and the diet of an ascetic, you may suddenly find yourself arrayed in purple and fine linen and dining like Dives in the height of his prosperity. They may not know it, but this is just the reason that keeps many a good man plodding hopefully along through dusty years of near-poverty. Your good luck may come to you in strange ways, in ways you will not at first recognize, and you may even shut the door in its face. Let me illustrate: One day .I was sitting in my little office wondering how I was ever going to get enough money to marry your mother and do all the things I wanted to do. The door had just closed on the agent for the building, who had come to remind me that the rent was a month in arrears; a fact that I was unfortunately only too well aware of. This agent was a mighty decent chap. He explained, however, that he had reached the point where he could not carry any more of these infant industries, as he called them, on his rent roll. He said he had carried a young architect for over a year, hoping that the tide would turn and he would be able to pay the rent. Two or three young dentists had worked out their indebtedness by filling his teeth, and a young doctor had won the right to a month's office rent...
