Badfellas by Thomas G. Roth

I was fortunate to have been a trial lawyer. When most people think of lawyers, they think of trial lawyers because they are the ones generally depicted on television and in movies. But trial lawyers represent a tiny segment of the overall legal profession.

Most lawyers never see the inside of a courtroom and never get the opportunity to personally address a judge or jury. What most lawyers do for a living is so mind-numbingly dull that no one would ever do it were it not for the money or job security. This book would have been unimaginable in any other legal discipline.
