Best Law Novels/ Memoirs

Post by Jarndyce » Sun Jul 18, 2010 7:32 pm

I am going to the beach in a few weeks, and I'm looking for some light reading. I'd prefer something in the same vein as Anonymous Lawyer (Blachman), Barman (Wellen), or Lawyer Boy (Lax)- just a light-hearted look at either law school or big law. I'm not interested in thrillers like Grisham or any law school prep stuff. I am a 2L, and I just find stuff that parodies or looks at our bizarre little legal world from a different angle interesting.

Also, anyone looking for something fun to read related to the law, all of the stuff I listed above is great.

A Civil Action.

Because no matter where you work, no matter what you do, cashflow is king. Jan Schlitman bet the farm and lost. I've seen other firms do this. I worked for a major firm that bet the farm and actually won.

1L by Scott Turrow was good, not sure if that's exactly what you are looking for though.
