Included among the book’s many lessons on surviving in the law are:

  • why mediocrity is the key to success in the law
  • the entire law of equity in one haiku
  • the equation to calculate how many units of billable time you need to record befor the end of your life
  • how a law firm can achieve prominence, profit and perfection
  • what Socrates would tell you over a latte and
  • why lawyers are like lobsters.
