Vault Guide to Litigation Law Careers (Vault Career Guide)

Rating:
Summary: GREAT READING!
Review: Starting from the decision to go to law school and moving all the way into your litigation career, this book is thorough, enjoyable and full of real-world advice. This isn't the recycled promotional career advice you get from firms, but the real story. I'm a law student, and I generally like Vault guides, but this is my favorite because the writing is so good. It explains the varieties of litigation as well as the realities of being a litigation associate in a firm. And, unlike most law books, it also discusses public interest and government work.

I don't know yet if I'll go into litigation, but this was a great read! The only downside is the price--the book is great, but why is it so expensive??

Summary: an enlightening read
Review: The Vault Guide to Litigation Careers is the kind of book I wish I had had when I was deciding what to do with my law degree. The author is quite thorough and writes clearly and concisely. I particularly enjoyed the section on law school, as these are common sense tips that I could have used.

The Vault Guides are well-thought out guides for anyone considering law school. I think this is one of the better ones.
