"This should be required reading for all law students, young lawyers, and those considering a career in the law. Cannon's book is chock full of practical advice and insider knowledge."
Timothy P. Peterson, Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, former SEC Senior Counsel
"Cannon's book reads like sound advice from a trusted older sibling. While The Ultimate Guide to Your Legal Career offers specific advice for the short term, it also asks young lawyers and law students to consider where they want to be further down the road. The book is more than just a primer on how to get a job; Cannon provides insight into how young lawyers can lay the foundation today for a happy and successful career many years from now. Most I importantly, Cannon describes what to do and what not to do in detail, rather than leaving the reader with the typical recitation of bromides and generalities."
Reader Reviews
Cannon does a thorough job describing the various ways to get into and manners to climb up the corporate law firm ladder, such as what job to get after graduating (clerking for a judge or deciding between different types of law firms) and what to do during your years at law school and the summers in between. He uses anecdotal descriptions to describe how people have managed to do so in addition to describing why and when people want to move out of corporate firm life to investment banking or other business related careers (ex. working at the SEC) in law. Unfortunately, if you were like me and are looking for an overview of other arenas in which one can practice law, like public interest law or any public sector law other than the SEC, this book may not be for you. Cannon does a good job at letting readers know the positives and negatives of life at large firms, and the book has given me more reason to not want to pursue a career in a large corporate firm. But Cannon says little about anything else. The book could also have been aided by a few more rounds of edits as multiple sections and anecdotes with the same point are repeated many times. The book should have had these almost identically worded sections consolidated. All in all, the book is useful for anyone who wants to get into a top large firm in a big city or for anyone who is trying to decide between a law degree, MBA, or both. For others, like me, the title of the book may seem a bit disingenuous - this is no ultimate guide to your legal career but someone else's.
