- Summary:
- This book reviews forty years' worth of empirical studies on lawyers and law students and how to identify themselves with the profile and personality of the typical lawyer; if they do not fit this profile, the book suggests how atypical lawyers can practice law most successfully and satisfactorily. It concludes that there is a set of eight-ten personality traits that differentiates lawyers from others.
