As a mid-level associate at a large international law firm, I strongly recommend this book to anyone trying to get the law firm job you want, whether you are a prospective or current law student or a recent graduate. I did not attend a top 10 law school, nor was I at the top of my class when interviewing for a summer associate position. As a result, my prospects of getting the big law job I wanted boiled down to my ability to truly nail my job interview. In the end, I was fortunate enough to succeed, but only after I learned the hard way from all the interviewing mistakes I had made along the way. If I had had this book when I interviewed, I know I would have received a lot more offers than I ended up getting. It is an excellent toolkit for selling and distinguishing yourself in the best way possible, which these days will prove more important than ever -- Ivy League or not.

I would have rather had this book than most of the advice I got during law school. I was lucky to see an advance copy of this book while I was hunting for a job last Spring and it really made a difference. Also, having been on the other side of the table in interviews, I can say that it definitely provides accurate insight for law students who want to nail their job interviews. That said, a good chunk of the information in here is obtainable from other sources, so I can't give it 5 stars. But it is nice to have it all in one place, and without any of the bad advice mixed in that you often find elsewhere.

Very helpful book! By far, the best career guide for lawyers that I've ever read.

Amazingly accurate and completely accessible - this book offers useful, practical advice for finding, preparing and excelling at law job interviews. Whether you're in law school just beginning your career, have been recently laid off, or are an experienced attorney who has practiced for years but is looking to move, mastery of the skills and lessons given in this book is essential. As a practicing attorney who has been both the interviewer and the interviewee, I know that I would have benefited greatly had this book been available years ago, and can safely say that certain interviewees would have been best served reading this book before interviewing. From providing general principles of proper etiquette and dress, to detailed examples of what, when and how to say the right things in almost any situation, this book is an absolute necessity. Funny and surprisingly insightful, it is evident that the authors have done their research and know what they are writing about.

In today's economy and state of unemployment this is a must have book. It provides a great incite into getting an interview, preparing for it and going through an interview. Authors describe the smallest details that you must consider in preparation for the interview and give great tips on how to land a job. The greatest part is that the book not just generally describes how to behave during interview, but gives specific examples of responses and questions that you need to ask.
