Reviews
"Drawing on his 55 years as a lawyer and a judge, Fleming offers a shrewd, sober critique of modern legal practice, exposing economic injustices that the market must inevitably iron out....Fleming quotes from the classics--Aesop, Milton, Burke--but he writes with the rigor and insight of Thorstein Veblen." The New York Times Book Review, "An interest in law is not essential for enjoying a splendid narrative, but readers familiar with the legal profession will be rewarded with rare insights presented in fine style." Business Library Review, "This is an important contribution to the continuing debate about the growth and role of law and lawyers. Although the focus is the megafirm, the author's trenchant observations about the decline of integrity and the loss of public confidence in legal practice apply to the entire legal profession." Choice, "For a detailed diagnosis of what ails the profession, and a prescription for a cure, you couldn't do better than this slim book by a retired justice of the California Court of Appeal." The National Law Journal

Synopsis
Retired Justice Macklin Fleming argues that in its quest for money, the legal profession has lost sight of its true tasks and responsibilities, with the result that the profession is rife with client dissatisfaction, public distrust, and individual lawyer discontent. Money is now the measure of success, he says, and honesty has been diluted, while fiduciary responsibility has eroded. Fleming elaborates his case with unusual rigor. In the quest for the brass ring of financial success, corner-cutting, absence of candor, and distortions of fact have become increasingly tolerated, to the extent that clients, the public, and lawyers themselves no longer have a sense of trust and confidence in the legal profession. Obviously, changes are needed, and unless they come from within the firms themselves, lawyers can be sure that they will come from individuals, agencies, and organizations outside these firms. Attorneys in all kinds of practices, their clients in all sectors of the economy, and academics concerned with the practice of law in all its dimensions will find Fleming's book informative, challenging, and certainly provocative reading. Fleming starts by examining what he sees as a paradox: a large increase in lawyers' fees despite a fourfold increase in lawyer numbers and a threefold increase in their proportion of the general population. What happened to the law of supply and demand? he asks. After tracing the history of the large corporate law firm and its dominance within the profession, he shows how cost-effectiveness within large firms has declined while at the same time what he calls the magic of the emperor's new clothes has suspended the law of supply and demand. He discusses excessive legal fees, their resistance to client and court controls, and relates his discussion to the present pervasive distrust of lawyers among the public. Fleming outlines the four existing challenges to business-as-usual by lawyers and law firms, and then ventures his own analysis of the needed future changes in law firms. These include professional law firm management under a less archaic structure, effective integrity and quality controls, cost-controlled delivery of legal services, and increased job satisfaction for its working lawyers.

- o***3 (127)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaI had a good 1st experience with this seller. My item was as described, it arrived on time, it was undamaged and communication was excellent. I asked the seller to wrap my item up in some bubble wrap and ship it in a box. I was told that they don't ship (dvds at least) in boxes. I then asked if they would add a couple pieces of cardboard (inside the envelope) which was done for me. The seller also placed a "Fragile" sticker on it. I really appreciated that. I would buy from this seller again.Vlad the Impaler (Blu-ray) Sealed (#365711207064)

The package got here very quickly and the books are in great condition. The seller added a bunch of cute stickers in the package which is such a cute little touch! I will say that one of the books is unfortunately fake. But they probabaly didn't know and I'll just gift it to someone or something.
