Excerpt
from the Preface
What does it
mean to be a good lawyer? The
question can inspire, nag, or haunt an entire
career. If
anything has become clear from our own attempts to
answer that question it is this: being a good
lawyer is even harder than being a great one. Winning
big cases and earning acclaim is a piece of cake
compared to building the set of skills, attitudes,
dispositions, and behaviors that characterize the
best lawyers.
