While naturally loquacious law professors, law students, lawyers, and judges thrive in a world dominated by the Socratic question-and-answer method and rapid-fire oral discourse, quiet thinkers and writers can be sidelined. The introverted Lawyer illuminates the valuable gifts that introverted, shy, and socially anxious individuals bring to the legal profession-including active listening, deep thinking, empathy, impactful legal writing, creative problem-solving, and thoughtful communication. The first half of this book: (1) explains the differences among introversion, shyness, and social anxiety and how each can manifest in the legal context, (2) explores the impact on quiet individuals of the push toward extroversion in law school and law practice, and (3) highlights greatly valued proficiencies that quiet individuals offer the legal profession through nurturing instead of repressing innate strengths. Further, to help quiet law students and lawyers become authentically powerful advocates, the second half of this book outlines a practical seven-step process to empower introverted, shy, and socially anxious individuals to amplify their voices without compromising their quiet assets. With increased self-awareness and a holistic approach, and buoyed by collaboratively compassionate and motivating professors and law office mentors, introverted, shy, and socially anxious law students and lawyers will transform the legal profession.

Most people don?t fully realize that the American legal system is owned and operated by a profit oriented service trade. To maintain their control, they require litigants to navigate through a convoluted web of abstractions for a chance to determine if there is any justice within its flawed structure. Everyone living in America , innocent or not, is in danger of being terrorized with a "trial by ordeal"philosophy that was supposed to be eliminated by the blood of the revolutionary colonists. Within this problem, there is a golden opportunity to recover valuable resources. Newly found financial energy can be the basis of an economic boom. In a patriotic, consumer orientated manner, Survival of the Slickest introduces the basic concepts of modern litigation in simple terms, the danger to every American, and why citizens must pursue a variety of recommendations.
