Files to Publisher
I just submitted the final files to the publisher for the book. It should be available for purchase in March. If you would like to receive a review copy (meaning you’ll read it and post/submit a review) just let me know and I’ll email you a digital copy. Of course as the publish date draws closer, I’ll stop giving away digital review copies.

The current BusinessWeek cites new research talking about how it’s not all right-brain skill that lead to success. The article doesn’t talk specifically about lawyers, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand how this research applies to law school. Here’s a quote:
“A new study concludes that social skills can be a better predictor of future earnings than test scores are. Christy Lleras, a University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign sociologist, analyzed data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988, tracking 11,000 students from 10th grade until 10 years after their high school graduation. Her work, published in September’s Social Science Research, found that pupils described by teachers as conscientious, motivated, and able to relate well to peers and adults earned an average $3200 more yearly than those with equally good test scores but poorer social skills. Lleras says many socially adept students were helped by joining in team sports or other activities. It makes sense, she says, that in a service economy, ‘people with social skills will be much better equipped to navigate.’”
Unless you’re planning to work in a sealed cube, being a lawyer is definitely a “service” business.
