This is the perfect book for any law student or new law firm or public government attorney, and should be required reading for any new admittee before making that first court appearance. It separates what really goes on in the office and in court from what is seen on the popular law-oriented shows on television. The 'do' and 'don't do' information in this book isn't in any law school textbook: it can only be learned here, or the hard way, by painful personal experiences. Author Gene Grossman compiled the material in this book from many interviews with experienced judges, trial lawyers, law firm partners and even some jurors.
