Title: Full Disclosure: The New Lawyer's Must-Read Career Guide by Christen Civiletto Carey Esq. ISBN: 0-9705970-0-2 Publisher: ALM Publishing Pub. Date: April, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $19.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.57 (7 reviews)

Summary: Reasonable, but incomplete
Comment: The information that's present seems to be reasonable and helpful, but I wish I'd known before I ordered it that there's nothing at all in the book about solo practice, or starting a small firm with other attorneys. The advice in the book is all about how to get someone else to hire you, how to work for them and get along with them, and what sort of job you might want to look for. That's pretty good, if that's a good match for your personality. However, if you're not inclined in that direction (most of the attorneys in the US work as solos or in small firms), this may not be that helpful after all.

Summary: Not quite full disclosure
Comment: I bought this book to give to my son for Christmas, and a quick look indicates that it has some very useful information. The author takes a very matter-of-fact approach to the legal profession and its culture. Much of the job-hunting and general professional conduct advice applies to other professions as well. However, I cannot forgive Ms. Carey for her omission of the entire state of Maine in the list of law firms by state and alphabetically! Wyoming made the list. What gives?
Rating: 5
Summary: Gives the unfortunate truth about being an associate
Comment: Nowadays firms don't mentor people. A young lawyer has very little idea how to operate, so everything becomes trial by fire. This book reveals the unfortunate truth about being a young associate and sets you straight about any misconceptions you might have. I think this should be required reading for every person starting at a firm.
