Deborah Schneider, JD & Gary Belsky
Are you making the right decision to get into – or remain – in
law? Whether you're a prospective law student, a current law

the basic question: should you really be a lawyer at all?" Says

decision. This is a must-read for anyone contemplating law
school, currently in law school, or considering leaving the
practice of law." Paperback, 238 pages; 2004. $21.95.
