| Abstract
|
:
|
"More competitive, more dependent on computer technology, and somehow even more stressful, the business of law in the 21st century can now be mismanaged in more ways than ever before. And Arnold Kanter, America's only expert on law firm mismanagement, is back with a whole new array of humorous committee meetings, memos, speeches, and consultants' reports that present lawyers acting not like sharks, but rather floundering in a sea of dilemmas. The lawyers of Kanter's mythical firm, Fairweather, Winters & Sommers, consider the advantages of merging and going virtual; they bicker over a firm website and in front of a morning talk show audience; they try to understand economics and figure out what to do when a big corporate client gets caught being unusually unethical. A sports mogul client argues for drafting law school grads as if they were athletes, and a look into the future finds earth lawyers trolling outer space for new business. And then there's the woeful art of hiring lawyers, which comes in for a good share of lampooning. But always, as ever, the firm's founder, Stanley Fairweather, gets the last, wise word"--Publisher's description.
