Read
this now. Big firm lawyer escapes and finds
himself. Makes you feel like you just graduated
from law school, complete with all those long forgotten
ideals. Just click The
Street Lawyer and see how easy it is to shop
Amazon.com. Before long, you'll be an Amazon
junkie like the rest of us. I have this delightful thing called "One Click Ordering" set up for myself. Have credit card, will read.
Here's
a good example of what you can find on Amazon. The
Lawyers Quick Guide to Timeslips may just fill a
need for you. Haven't read this yet, but I've owned
Timeslips for several months and haven't even installed
it. Could be time for me to buy a book.
Amicus
Attorney in One Hour for Lawyers Another in the ABA
series. Brand new. Amicus Attorney is such a
powerful tool, yet difficult to master. It is the only
book of its kind I have found so far. If you know
of Amicus books, drop me a note.
Running
a Law Practice on a Shoestring . This certainly
sounds appealing, but I'm not too sure about the title.
What if you can't afford a shoestring? The reviews
at Amazon are very mixed on this one. Some love
it; some hate it.
Using PowerPoint If
you aren't PowerPoint savvy, you will be soon.
Everybody will use this technology. Get
ready now. Then spend a few thousand on a
projector, and let me borrow it.
The
Macintosh Software Guide for the Law Office
Ok, Mac people. This one's
for you. I can't recommend it, as I wouldn't know a Mac
from a hole in the ground. In the interest,
however, of political correctness, I include this book.
Here's
some fun. Perri O'Shaughnessy is two sisters who
tell a great tale about lawyering. If you like
escapist, fast moving fiction about lawyers, this is for
you. The characters and story continue from book to book, but any one of them is a good starting point. Nina Reilly, our hero, lost her big firm
job in San Francisco and started a solo practice at Lake Tahoe. Don't buy more than one if you have anything
important to do. I read four of them without stopping.
Speaking
of fun, here's a link to the best computers on earth.
