Included among the book’s many lessons on surviving in the law are:
• why mediocrity is the key to success in the law;
• how a law firm can achieve prominence, profit and perfection;
• what Socrates would tell you over a latte; and
• why lawyers are like lobsters.

Starts out well but about half way through I found the cynical voice had lost its humour and became very tiring. Didn't finish. Maybe it's not the kind of book to read in one go?
