Overview
Covering the often frustrating process of researching and securing a law firm job and how to succeed once a job is secured, this is a mentoring guide for new lawyers at the beginning stages of their careers. It embodies a collective wisdom about the things lawyers wished they knew at the beginning of their careers, rather than the end. Subjects covered include traditional and creative job hunting, writing resumes and cover letters, first and second interviews, and developing relationships with firms as a summer associate. Using real-life examples, this reference also focuses on the ultimate goal of being a satisfied and fulfilled lawyer and discusses many of the daily workplace issues that new lawyers are often afraid to talk about-handling firm partners and assignments, courtroom etiquette, organizational tools, and dating within the firm.Author Biography: Christen Civiletto Carey is a lawyer with Altman, Kritzer & Levick, P.C. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

Every young lawyer making the transition from law school to a law firm needs to read Full Disclosure. Having been there myself - as a law student looking for career advice, a practicing lawyer in a large law firm and now a professor advising law students - I found Full Disclosure to be extremely accurate and full of valuable advice about law firm life. The range of topics covered in Full Disclosure is terrific. This book discusses many of the things that young lawyers are often afraid to talk about . . . . I will recommend this book to all my students. It's truly a must-read!z—Georgetown University School of Law
