If pin sharp observation and razor like wit are your things, then this book is a must for your collection. Daniel R White and Alex Williams poke fun at the legal profession from law student to High Court Judge and all in between. The Times describes it as 'irreverent, funny and perceptive'. I couldn't agree more. The Chapters on Recruiting and Survival should be required reading for anyone contemplating embarking on the dubious pleasures of the corporate ladder, whether as a lawyer or not. But beware, having read it you may never be able view the profession in quite the same light again. Excellent!

I had a good old titter reading this book - a light-hearted look at what you could be letting yourself in for by entering the legal profession, with great cartoons by The Times, Queen's Counsel author, Alex Williams. The perfect stocking filler for those thinking or embarking on a career in the law, or those who may be thinking of escaping!
