Rating:
Summary: Escaping by the Book
Review: I left large-firm corporate law practice for the public interest world after 12 long weeks - but if I had had this book, I probably would have been able to leave in six! Over the years I have offered lots of advice to other lawyers contemplating the same move -- but now I won't have to. I'll just direct them "To the Great Firm Escape." It has everything everyone needs to know to get out of that dreary law firm job, particularly overcoming the psychological hurdles, which are usually more daunting than the real ones. So stop complaining about your job - and buy this book!
