Jagged Rocks of Wisdom - Morten Lund

A new job is scary. A new job as an attorney is scary times two: the challenges are both substantive (as in actually knowing the law), as well as procedural (as in knowing how to act like an attorney). In this professional transition, many, many new attorneys fall by the wayside. This book is a guide to keep the new attorney on track. Written in a first- and second-person tense and filled with no-nonsense guidance from someone actually in the mentorship role in a real-world national law firm, this professional guidebook is unique among the titles available to the new attorney. While many guidebooks are filled with platitudes and generalities, there is a serious need for genuine professional guidance. That's where this focused guide steps in. This book is a companion to The Young Lawyer's Jungle Book: A Survival Guide, which started the genre. Thane Messinger, author of The Young Lawyer's Jungle Book, was so impressed he wrote a foreword for Jagged Rocks of Wisdom. These two books will make a difference-sometimes the difference-for the new attorney.
