About The Litigator’s Path

From the publisher's feed

Whether through your own practice or within a firm, building a successful litigation career takes more than legal skills. Yet law school doesn’t teach you how to grow your caseload, attract clients, or advance your career. We fill that gap with expert insights on scaling a practice, excelling in litigation, and navigating the business of law.
