The Mindful Law Student is an innovative guide to learning about
mindfulness and integrating mindfulness practices into the law
school experience. Through the use of metaphor, insight,
mindfulness practices, and relaxation, and self-care exercises,
students are reminded of the tools they have long carried with them
to navigate the exciting and challenging environment of law school
and the practice of law. Scott Rogers brings readers on a journey
through the law school experience with seven hypothetical students

benefits, and promise of mindfulness. He provides real-world
examples of applying mindfulness in law school using language of
the law to impart mindfulness insights and practices. This novel
guide is an approachable and valuable resource for any law student.
There are law books about constructive trusts, the Perpetuities and
Accumulations Act 1964, and the rule in Foss v Harbottle. This law
book is not one of them. Writer David Pannick has always been much
more interested in unpersuasive advocates and injudicious judges.
In this entertaining and sometimes shocking collection of his
fortnightly columns from The Times (London), Pannick passes
judgement on advocates who tell judges that their closing
submissions to the jury will not take long because "I would like to
move my car before 5 o'clock." Pannick also sentences judges who
claim to have invisible dwarf friends sitting with them on the
Bench, who order the parties to "stay loose - as a goose," and who
signal their rejection of an advocate's argument by flushing a
miniature toilet on the bench. Pannick will entertain and inform
the reader about judges, lawyers, legal culture, and law reform. I
Have to Move My Car is an ideal gift for all those who appreciate
the lighter side to court life.
During the ''golden age of law firm growth'' from the late 1960s
until 2007, most large law firms adopted a default growth strategy,
increasing practice areas and offices, aided by the momentum of the
tail winds of law firm growth. Since the recession of 2008-2009,
however, the legal marketplace has drastically changed. The market
has become too sophisticated for undifferentiated large firms, and
in this timely book, Jay Westcott suggests strategic building
blocks that firms can adopt in order to adapt themselves to this
radical change and prosper as lasting institutions. In order to
counteract client pushback, firms must concentrate on their market
strengths, and clients will differentiate firms by price, size, and
expertise. This book will serve as a critical resource for law firm
partners and managers who are interested in developing successful,
distinctive firms. Law scholars will also be interested in this
examination of the profession and how it is changing, as will
clients and businesses.
From legal expert and veteran author Bryan Garner comes a unique,
intimate, and compelling memoir of his friendship with the late
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. For almost thirty years,
Antonin Scalia was arguably the most influential and controversial
Justice on the United States Supreme Court. His dynamic and witty
writing devoted to the Constitution has influenced an entire
generation of judges. Based on his reputation for using scathing
language to criticize liberal court decisions, many people presumed
Scalia to be gruff and irascible. But to those who knew him as
"Nino," he was characterized by his warmth, charm, devotion, fierce
intelligence, and loyalty. Bryan Garner's friendship with Justice
Scalia was instigated by celebrated writer David Foster Wallace and
strengthened over their shared love of language. Despite their
differing viewpoints on everything from gun control to the use of
contractions, their literary and personal relationship flourished.
Justice Scalia even officiated at Garner's wedding. In this
humorous, touching, and surprisingly action-packed memoir, Garner
gives a firsthand insight into the mind, habits, and faith of one
of the most famous and misunderstood judges in the world.
Harvard Law-graduate authors Yussuf Aleem and Jake Slowik built a
multi-million dollar law practice before they were 30 years old
using a novel strategy of business niche specialization. They have
now written the story behind their success so that other attorneys
can learn from their methods and grow their own successful
practices. Drawing on the authors'? own experiences and lessons
with illustrative examples and real-life applications, the book
teaches how they used a novel strategy of business niche
specialization to quickly grow their law practice amidst a rapidly
changing global economy. The book illustrates why business niche
specialization worked for the authors, the characteristics of a
business niche that make it right for a law practice, and how the
authors adopted specific business tactics that aligned with their
strategy and maximized their chances for success. Its innovative,
tried and true methods have been broken down into applicable steps
so that a strategy can be developed and executed in a way that
works for the reader and their specific skill set. From new lawyers
who are looking to jumpstart their legal career to established
attorneys who need to revitalize their practice and boost their
marketability, this book presents an opportunity to anyone who is
struggling to succeed in the legal marketplace.
