Book excerpt: There is a saying about law school that they scare you to death the first year, work you to death the second, and bore you to death the third. Law students today have a pretty good idea what to expect from the initial plunge into the law. Scott Turow's One L, describing his first year at Harvard, has become almost mandatory reading for anyone contemplating law school. And because that level of intensity is what so many expect, that is how the first year usually plays out, complete with ulcers, outlines, and relentless work. But the education does not end after the first year. Law school is a three-year course of study, and the first year often bears little resemblance to the final two. Facing two more years of grueling class work, mounting student loans, increasing pressure to stand out from the crowd, and the never-ending search for the perfect job, upper-class students come to realize that surviving the fall into the deep end is no guarantee they will learn to swim. Letters from Law School is about the second year of law school, after the cold shock of the plunge. This book describes the struggle to come up for air.

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.''

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...
