How to Get the Job You Want in a Law Firm

Rating:
Summary: Should be "How To Get a Job on a Law *Farm*"
Review: Apparently, if the firm has less than 200 lawyers, it's not a "law firm" according to this author. This despite the fact that 90% of all legal jobs out there are in smaller firms. Go figure.

Summary: Not helpful for 95% of law students
Review: I agree with the previous reviewer from New York. According to the author of this book, you ought to simply throw in the towel if you're not in the top 10% of a top tier law school. The top 10% students at my top tier law school didn't need any job search advice; the jobs came to them.

So who is this book written for, hmmm?

The days of the huge law firm are numbered. New associates are abandoning megafirms like rats from sinking ships. Perhaps Ms. Turnicky and Mr. Theroux ought to consider putting their talents to work writing a relevant, forward-looking job search guide.

Summary: Decent resource
Review: While I thought this book was decent, there are other guides to law firms that provide a better inside view of each firm's hiring process. One good example: The Vault Reports Guide to America's Top 50 Law Firms.
