Many college graduates and young professionals go to law school, lured by a romantic mythology of law practice that has been pervasive in American culture. Time and time again, they are laid off in droves from law firms during economic recessions. They are intelligent, motivated and honorable professionals. After such layoffs, they are virtually “unhireable” in corporate America – they have NOWHERE to go.

How To Avoid the Law Firm Trap and Achieve Lasting Success in the 21st Century offers a solution to this significant economic and professional problem. This innovative work debunks the myths surrounding law school and law firm practice.  It also offers an introductory executive skill and career guide which provides valuable resources on financially and intellectually rewarding alternatives to law practice.

The book is for students and young professionals (including those who have attended law school or are in law firms) and also for parents, academics, guidance and career counselors. It is recommended reading for anyone interested in developing a new model for legal and executive education that would bulletproof young people from the vagaries of the economic marketplace.
