Product Description
Law School is all very well with its academic niceties and its carbolic
smoke balls but day-to-day life in a modern law firm is warfare. And that's if you get in the door...
Elephant traps, office politics and even that scourge of the trainee - photocopying - are the often baffling rites of passage in a law firm.
There are arcane rules and ways of doing things and you need to grasp them fast if you are to survive.
This book is the distillation of years of experience from lawyers young and
old, provincial or City, secretaries, support staff and PSLs (know who or
what they are?).
Our guide takes you from your application for a training contract through your gestation as a trainee. Practical, painstaking and full of common sense, every aspect of your day-to-day life is covered from what to wear, billing and time-recording to dealing with those highly stressed partners who now control your long waking hours.
This book will make you better prepared for the culture shock so many trainees say they encounter when they enter their firm's portals for the first time. And that will mean a better chance of your flourishing in this challenging but highly rewarding environment.
