Warning! Proceed With Caution Into the Practice of Law is a written mentor for those who are thinking about becoming lawyers, and those practicing attorneys who want a change or a way out. Topics include: entering and surviving law school, the realities of law firm life, contract work, and options beyond being an attorney. Having a plan is a consistent theme throughout the book – planning for financial independence; planning to own a law firm instead of being an employee; and making a plan for a full and purposeful life. For attorneys feeling trapped by economic need and remaining in unsatisfactory employment, there is a chapter entitled “What Do You Do Now?”
Having practiced law for 20 years, the author asked the question: “If I knew then what I know now, what would I have done differently?” The answers form the content of this book.
Robin D. Hart is an attorney practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Mills College, a law degree from Georgetown University Law Center, and a Master of Arts degree in theology from the Pacific School of Religion, part of the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
This is my own book and I think it is very readable and full of valuable information and insight. However, the following is a review that is on the Amazon and Kindle websites, as well as my own: www.stronghartpublishing.com:
Beautiful story telling, wit, intelligence, and common sense advice are laced throughout the entire book. After reading Warning! Proceed With Caution Into The Practice of Law, I am deeply inspired to continue along my own path of passion from the honest account of Ms. Hart's journey through the profession of law. Although the book is directed towards those who are considering becoming attorneys, it is a must read for every and any person who is unsure of their career choice or even life direction at any age. Every viewpoint and question around the importance of a clear career plan and how it is a process of growth, as a human being, are thoroughly covered.
If you are having any reservations about purchasing this book, no matter what your possible or chosen profession, Do Not Hesitate! Warning! Proceed With Caution Into The Practice of Law is a Must Read!!
