The Handbook of Law Firm Mismanagement

With humor in the tradition of Robert Benchley and S. J. Perelman, this collection of three previous works reveals the absurdities of life in a law firm through the mythically inept firm of Fairweather, Winters & Sommers. In Advanced Law Firm Mismanagement, the firm's founder, Stanley Fairweather, discusses the good--and not-so-good--old days and looks ahead with a bit of trepidation at where the profession is going. In The Ins & Outs of Law Firm Mismanagement, lawyers are viewed through the eyes of the firm's non-lawyers--secretaries, paralegals, the computer geek--who know better than anyone else how ridiculous lawyers can be. And in Was That a Tax Lawyer Who Just Flew Over? the lawyers are shown from the point of view of their clients and other outsiders.
