Praise for The Education of a Lawyer
“Gary has distilled his decades of legal experience into a concise work that's full of sound advice and good humor. He makes a persuasive case that success in the practice of law is a deliberate accumulation of good habits, from court appearances to office supplies. His wisdom and candor on each of these topics will point you in the right direction.”
-Matthew Butterick, author of Typography for Lawyers
“Gary Muldoon has written an impressive book that will benefit both law students and practicing lawyers. He addresses the law school experience, the pursuit of employment, advocacy skills, and the need for maintaining a balanced life. The book is funny, concise, and filled with wisdom. Most importantly, Muldoon teaches that civility, respect, and adherence to ethical standards are critical to success.”
-Robert Klonoff, Jordan D. Schnitzer Professor of Law, Lewis & Clark Law School
