Book Description
When Jacoby and Myers made it big with their low-budget legal services and prolific advertising, the business of practicing law was forever changed. This book provides great insight into that continually expanding boundary between professionalism and commercialism. Technology, the expansion of a service-based economy, and the entry of more and more women into the legal profession have had a dramatic effect on the day-to-day business of practicing law. Carroll Seron's discerning examination of the work lives of solo and small-firm attorneys, in contrast to large corporate firms, considers how the small legal entrepreneur must balance professionalism with commerce. The men and women in Seron's book detail a range of creative strategies for getting business, organizing work, and serving clients. What emerges is a multifaceted picture of everything from the day-to-day grind to ways that individuals have expanded or, conversely, scaled down or specialized their practices. Most illuminating is Seron's exploration of the gender differences in practicing law, acquiring business, getting promotions, and balancing personal and professional lives. While a large percentage of married women attorneys are also responsible for the bulk of home and child care, most married men attorneys have a support network at home, which gives them time to generate contacts at social and political functions. Author note: Carroll Seron is a Professor in the School of Public Affairs, Baruch College, and in the Department of Sociology, the Graduate Center, at City University of New York. Among her previously published books is Rationalizing Justice: The Political Economy of Federal District Courts (co-authored with Wolf Heydebrand).

Book Description
Have you ever wondered what it was like to experience life as a civilian in the United States during the early 1940s while the world was engulfed in World War II? Or what it was like when the streets of American cities were almost devoid of young men? Or imagine a time when the entire country was geared to support the war effort? Or when everyday items were in short supply and government-issued ration stamps determined how many tires, pairs of shoes, gallons of gasoline, or pounds of meat and sugar you could buy? We Were Vagabonds stands alone as a story or it can be read as a sequel to Father Was A Caveman, as it continues the saga of Burrel Harman and his children when they are reunited after being scattered apart for a year. Burrel vows never to be separated from his children again so he comes up with a creative way to keep them together. His solution leads to some exciting, joyful, and even frightening experiences, as with his bride and children in tow, he follows the large defense construction jobs. This book is filled with humor and adventure as the family adjusts to their life on the road as vagabonds. In Washington, D.C. Burrel works on the construction of the Pentagon. Then near the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland he helps build a seaplane base. There they find themselves living in the middle of a junkyard where June and Polly are exposed to one of the most terrifying experiences of their lives. Then in Jackson, Mississippi they discover what it is like to be Damn Yankees in the deep South. Their journey begins in Ohio, takes them through many states, and ends just twenty-five miles from where they started. Here Cecil discovers that pretty blondes and unreliable cars make a volatile combination. Then with help from an unexpected source, June begins her quest to become reunited with her long-lost mother and little brother, Dickie.

Book Description
The Smarter Legal Model is a practical toolbox of complementary methodologies which have been applied on a multi-million dollar scale and proven to: *Reduce legal costs. *Increase the legal work covered without increasing cost or headcount, by maximising individual potential. *Improve both compliance and client satisfaction at the same time. *Replace the traditional law firm-client tension with a mutually profitable partnership. The Smarter Legal Model applies world-class business and behavioral principles, such as Six Sigma, return on invested capital, zero-sum game theory and neuro-linguistic programming to the practice of law for the first time with tangible results. Recently reported benefits of the Model include a 27% reduction in legal fees, a 60% reduction in litigation volume and demonstrable improvements in client satisfaction. The Smarter Legal Model will be of use to in-house lawyers, private practitioners and even professionals from non-legal disciplines. The Smarter Legal Model has been adopted by major concerns and has been the subject of extensive analysis across the world. The Author has lectured on the Model at Harvard Law School, Oxford University, Georgetown Law School; in Washington, New York, London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Stockholm and Sydney.

Book Description
If you want to build an above-average book of business, this book is a must! Through a disciplined commitment to foundational principles and growth-oriented behaviors, Dan Lynch built a 10-lawyer Firm and a $1 million ++ annual book of business, surpassing the average lawyer by a wide margin. While practicing law and generating business, Dan regularly mentored his associates and articulated these principles and behaviors. He teaches these principles to his four children as well. Then one Monday morning, Dan was blind-sided when five partner-level lawyers of the Firm came into his office and announced, without notice, "We're leaving." This group proceeded to recruit support staff and some of Dan's own clients away from him. The betrayal caused Dan to question the things about life and business that he had believed in and so often articulated. As he debated the answers to these questions and tried to learn from this situation, Dan recruited and hired. He did what he had always done to build a team and build a business. Two years later, The Lynch Law Group had more lawyers, more staff, and more revenue than it did at the time of the betrayal. The Firm was also voted one of the top 100 Best Places to Work by the Pittsburgh Business Times in each of the years following the betrayal. In this book, Dan shares the principles and behaviors he used to build a successful firm, not once, but twice. If you've been looking for a proven guide to build an above-average book of business, you've found it!
