Book Reviews of The Curmudgeon's Guide to Practicing Law

Book Review: Note to law students: read this book.
Summary: 5 Stars

Mr. Herrmann's guide is the most concise, well-written book I've read this year. Its style (and brevity) is reminiscent of Strunk & White's classic volume. I recommended this book without reservation.
