This unique book is designed to introduce non-lawyers to what law is and how it is interpreted and made, and to prepare prospective law students for law school. Although primarily intended for those interested in going to law school, it is also very useful for those who simply want a working knowledge of how the American legal system actually works. The text is highly pragmatic, helping the reader understand not just theory but the realities of how law works and what lawyers actually do to assist clients in the real world. To that end, it contains a sample legal problem along with the necessary legal materials to address it and an illustrative answer.

This casebook introduces students to practice management skills involving a variety of issues, including formation of the firm, development of a marketing plan, hiring and retaining staff, setting up a law office, leveraging intellectual work product, marshalling technology and information resources, establishing office systems, setting and collecting fees, and managing a budget. The course examines the management of organizations that deliver legal services, the lawyer as a manager of legal work, and the application of management skills in the professional setting. Because more professional error is caused by administrative mistakes than by lack of substantive legal knowledge, practice management skills are fundamental to competent lawyering.
