I'm in the middle of bar exam preparation, and I've come to the sudden, and abrupt, realization that I haven't learned nearly enough in law school about "the law."
Sure, plenty of my classes taught the theories surrounding the law, but very few actually went into the practical applications of the law. What's more, fewer even discussed how to manage "the law" when the true realities confront you in the face.
It's important to take a minute and evaluate all the potential ramifications of the legal practice. In the swift 3 days between graduation and the grueling preparation known as bar review, I took an opportunity to read Carolyn Elefant's new book, Solo By Choice. This is the "What I'd Wished I'd Knew" handbook for all aspiring solos.
Solo By Choice does in about 200 pages what Jay Foonberg's comparable volume struggles to do in 600+. Do you want some hard-and-fast tips on becoming a better lawyer and managing/starting your practice? YOU MUST READ THIS!! Every solo should give Carolyn a standing ovation for this piece of literature with the potential to redefine the solo practice.
Thank you so much for the great review of my book. Good luck on the bar!
