Book Description
If you are a skilled legal professional, you know incivility within the profession has reached epidemic proportions. James H. Fierberg spent almost forty years practicing law at the highest levels, and he suggests the profession can solve the problem by paying attention to something it has mostly ignored: mentoring lawyers. In fact, he argues that mentoring programs can help to elevate save the profession and also remove some of the world’s rampant toxicity. He answers questions such as: • How can firms urge an early and comprehensive mindful moral inventory of new attorneys? • What can firms do to help lawyers cultivate positive interpersonal skills and progress in the legal profession? • What can senior lawyers do to nurture a legacy for themselves, their firms, and their brands? Mindful mentors must not only commit to teaching mentees—they must encourage them to come to terms with exactly who they are, how they got to this point, and how they will establish themselves in the community of law moving forward.

Book Description
As defender of both the righteous and the questionable, Alan Dershowitz has become perhaps the most famous and outspoken attorney in the land. Whether or not they agree with his legal tactics, most people would agree that he possesses a powerful and profound sense of justice. In this meditation on his profession, Dershowitz writes about life, law, and the opportunities that young lawyers have to do good and do well at the same time. We live in an age of growing dissatisfaction with law as a career, which ironically comes at a time of unprecedented wealth for many lawyers. Dershowitz addresses this paradox, as well as the uncomfortable reality of working hard for clients who are often without many redeeming qualities. He writes about the lure of money, fame, and power, as well as about the seduction of success. In the process, he conveys some of the ''tricks of the trade'' that have helped him win cases and become successful at the art and practice of ''lawyering.''

Book Description
You became a lawyer to help people and have a great life. Instead, you're working insane hours, not making the money you had hoped, and are not fulfilled by your life as a lawyer. Ali Katz was struggling with the same issues while also being a single mom who needed control of her calendar. When she saw major flaws in the way lawyers, like herself, were taught to serve families and small business owners, she decided to do something about it. Ali developed a new way to practice law-one that puts relationships before transactions. And while that made her happy, the icing on the cake was that she started generating over $1 million annually in just three years, all while going to her office just three days a week. Now, Ali brings this knowledge and experience to bear in The New Law Business Model. If you're a lawyer, there's no need to abandon your dreams. In this book, Ali shows how to use your most valuable asset-your law degree-for the good of families, small businesses, and most importantly, your well-being. Pulling from her own journey, Ali shares the roadmap she followed and insights she found that made her success possible. The old law business model is broken. It's time to replace it with one that works for you, your family, and your clients. It's time to take back your time, your income, and your humanity. The New Law Business Model was created to guide inspired lawyers like you into a new era.

Book Description
A Perfect Resource for Both Mentees and Mentors You can call it "speed mentoring" or "60-minute" mentoring. Just keep this in mind: Momentous things can happen in a moment and episodic mentoring sessions create such moments. In 60-Minute Mentoring for Lawyers and Law Students, a timely and readable guide, you will learn how to use 60-minute mentoring--with its focus on professionalism and life-long learning--to be a better lawyer and colleague. Small Commitments, Big Results Amy Timmer, Associate Dean of Students and Professionalism at WMU-Cooley Law School, and attorney Matthew Cristiano describe how lawyers, law firms, law students and bar associations can successfully use 60-minute mentoring in place of (or alongside) traditional matched-pair mentoring programs. Packed with sample questions, anecdotes and checklists, the book's four parts and 19 chapters explain everything mentors and mentees need to know about episodic mentoring, including: Questions young lawyers and law students should ask How to find, plan for and maximize mentoring sessions Mentee personality types What a 60-minute mentoring session looks like Episodic mentoring for bar association member development, new member orientation, and attorney development Partnering with law schools Why teaching professionalism matters In the past six years, more states have looked to mentoring to ease the introduction of new lawyers into the practice of law. At the same time, many affinity, local, and specialty bar associations have looked for ways to recruit and integrate new members into their existing membership using mentoring. The advantages are obvious: new attorneys need mentors not just to help them with legal issues, but to build a referral network, to become engaged with the legal community, to experience the values and customs of the local bar, to be exposed to continuing legal education and pro bono opportunities ... and on and on. The book is divided into 19 chapters: Chapter 1: What Is Mentoring? Chapter 2: Types of Mentoring Chapter 3: Understanding Episodic Mentoring Chapter 4: Perspectives on Diversity in Episodic Mentoring Chapter 5: The Focus on Ethics and Professionalism: The Common Bond Chapter 6: Find, Plan for, and Maximize Mentoring Episodes Chapter 7: Mentee Personality Types Chapter 8: The Episodic Mentoring Session Chapter 9: Feedback from the Episodic Mentoring Study Chapter 10: When Mentoring Goes Bad Chapter 11: Keeping in Touch with Mentors Chapter 12: How to Become a Mentor Chapter 13: Mentor Personalities and Approaches Chapter 14: A Template for Professionalism Mentoring Chapter 15: What Mentees Bring to the Relationship Chapter 16: Episodic Mentoring for Membership Development Chapter 17: Episodic Mentoring for New Members Chapter 18: Episodic Mentoring for Attorney Development Chapter 19: Partnering with a Local Law School
