Law careers 26 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback
We purchased this book after doing a little bit of research into career recommended books. It has turned out to be a very sensible and informative guide. The information given within is honest, practical and realistic. It is easy to read, you can dip in and out as and when needed if you so choose. I would definitely recommend, this from a parent of a prospective lawyer.
