Every lawyer wants to be a good lawyer. They want to do right by their clients, contribute to the professional community, become good colleagues, interact effectively with people of all persuasions, and choose the right cases. All of these skills and behaviors are important, but they spring from hard-to-identify foundational qualities necessary for good lawyering. After focusing for three years on getting high grades and sharpening analytical skills, far too many lawyers leave law school without a real sense of what it takes to be a good lawyer. In The Good Lawyer, Douglas O. Linder and Nancy Levit combine evidence from the latest social science research with numerous engaging accounts of top-notch attorneys at work to explain just what makes a good lawyer. They outline and analyze several crucial qualities: courage, empathy, integrity, diligence, realism, a strong sense of justice, clarity of purpose, and an ability to transcend emotionalism. Many qualities require apportionment in the right measure, and achieving the right balance is difficult. Lawyers need to know when to empathize and also when to detach; courage without an appreciation of consequences becomes recklessness; working too hard leads to exhaustion and mistakes. And what do you do in tricky situations, where the urge to deceive is high? How can you maintain focus through a mind-taxing (or mind-numbing) project? Every lawyer faces these problems at some point, but if properly recognized and approached, they can be overcome. It's not easy being good, but this engaging guide will serve as a handbook for any lawyer trying not only to figure out how to become a better--and, almost always, more fulfilled--lawyer.Binding Type: Hardcover

Where have these watches been?
Color: Grey on Black Fabric
A wonderful looking and wearing (with some wee modifications)watch. I originally bought this watch with the textile band but soon discovered it was not a marriage made in heaven. I swapped the bracelet for a leather aftermarket deployment bracelet and it transformed the watch for me.

Great Swiss Watch
Color: Green on Stainless Steel
High build quality. Super smooth movement. I've found that it loses time a lot faster than many of my Japanese automatics. The color options are great, but I wish there was more bracelet color diversity. High quality steel doesn't scratch easily. The date complication is awesome.
