From Finals to the Firm is written in a humorous, informal tone, yet offers provocative and practical tips that will assist law students and younger associates in their transition from law school to the law firm. The book also includes a "bonus chapter" exclusively for summer associates and also offers senior attorney rebuttals to the Top Ten! The authors, and former Washington, D.C. large-firm senior associates and small-company general counsels, wrote the book to help students avoid some of the pitfalls and "trial by fire" type learning they faced at the firm. Regardless of whether the goal is to make partner, go in-house or leave the practice of law altogether, the book offers informative, inspirational and insightful advice that will lead to a more rewarding law firm experience and more productive associates!
