The experiential guide to law practice management : opening and operating your own firm

Lynne Adair Kramer (Author), Ann L. Nowak (Author)
"What separates this manual and textbook from others in the field of law practice management is the experiential component. The textbook incorporates breakout boxes with experiences from the authors' own law practices to illustrate points in the text. The teacher's manual features simulations, class discussions, and written reflections to give students the experience of handling the kinds of dilemmas, struggles, and emotionally charged situations that are common when starting and running solo and small-firm practices"-- Provided by publisher
