Sample Book Insights:

#1 The fork in the road for law students is marked as early as freshers’ week. As you have chosen to study the academic discipline of law, it is assumed that you not only have designs on practicing it, but also know with a fair degree of certainty whether you want to practice law or not.

#2 I was able to meet a real-life barrister by giving my name correctly and shaking hands with him. I was unable to come up with any conversation topics, however, so I left after two agonizing minutes.

#3 I begin my mini-pupillage with a civil law barristers’ chambers, following barristers who specialize in personal injury work. I am shocked to hear that every day, I ask myself whether I made the right choice.

#4 The settlement offered by the defendant’s insurers was seven figures, and the conference was to discuss it with Dianne’s clients. The sum didn’t feel like much of a victory to me, given that it was far less than what Grisham had promised me in The King of Torts.
