Book Description
Retired Justice Macklin Fleming argues that in its quest for money, the legal profession has lost sight of its true tasks and responsibilities, with the result that the profession is rife with client dissatisfaction, public distrust, and individual lawyer discontent. Money is now the measure of success, he says, and honesty has been diluted, while fiduciary responsibility has eroded. Fleming elaborates his case with unusual rigor. "In the quest for the brass ring of financial success, corner-cutting, absence of candor, and distortions of fact have become increasingly tolerated, to the extent that clients, the public, and lawyers themselves no longer have a sense of trust and confidence in the legal profession." Obviously, changes are needed, and unless they come from within the firms themselves, lawyers can be sure that they will come from individuals, agencies, and organizations outside these firms. Attorneys in all kinds of practices, their clients in all sectors of the economy, and academics concerned with the practice of law in all its dimensions will find Fleming's book informative, challenging, and certainly provocative reading. Fleming starts by examining what he sees as a paradox: a large increase in lawyers' fees despite a fourfold increase in lawyer numbers and a threefold increase in their proportion of the general population. "What happened to the law of supply and demand?" he asks. After tracing the history of the large corporate law firm and its dominance within the profession, he shows how cost-effectiveness within large firms has declined while at the same time what he calls "the magic of the emperor's new clothes" has suspended the law of supply and demand. He discusses excessive legal fees, their resistance to client and court controls, and relates his discussion to the present pervasive distrust of lawyers among the public. Fleming outlines the four existing challenges to business-as-usual by lawyers and law firms, and then ventures his own analysis of the needed future changes in law firms. These include professional law firm management under a less archaic structure, effective integrity and quality controls, cost-controlled delivery of legal services, and increased job satisfaction for its working lawyers.

Customer Reviews:
Great information for everyone!!!.......2005-06-15
This book is a great read! It lays out the rules for having credit cards and checking accounts that I wish I had when starting out with my personal finances. I finally found out how checks are used by banks and department stores. And I like the ways to protect myself from getting my personal information ripped off and my credit ruined. And the ways to get out of financial trouble if your in it are wonderful.
This book also has many ways to get free money in the form of grants for college and starting a business that I find useful. Many foundations and the government have a lot of money they give away every year. There is a lot of free money out there that I didn't even know about, like credit cards and special financing deals for cars and furniture.
I always thought that a budget was about counting pennies, but I was wrong. The way to create a budget in the book is easy and makes sense. And there is a lot of good information about easy investing for the future. I loved it!

In your personal journey to become a millionaire, your age and income are irrelevant, and the only obstacle between where you are now and where you could be is you. Let two lawyers who retired as millionaires in their thirties be your designated drivers and tour guides on the Road to Millionaireville.
Journey to wealth and happiness by discovering unique financial wisdom and profound advice, which will change your view of finances and put you in the driver's seat. Road to Millionaireville--written by married lawyers who started with debt and zero assets and retired as millionaires after eleven years--will help you to:

Book Description
Mitchell Levy's book of e-commerce principles and case analyses may not be the first to market, but it may well be the best. What sets him apart is the comprehensiveness of his teaching: Mitchell Levy teaches conceptual planning and deployment like other highly regarded e-commerce book authors do, but he extends his teaching into maintaining what you deploy and most important-evolving your e-commerce operations for survival. What sets Mitchell Levy apart from the pack is his primary mission to teach readers how to learn, survive and prosper in the challenging universe of e-commerce that IS business today. The book will be written in a professional business style; balanced with humor and conversationally toned sidebars; and interspersed with 150 illustrations for variety and comprehension.

Keep the ipecac handy.......2003-08-31
As someone who is earning a small but steady profit from the "dot-bomb" fallout -- no, we haven't hit bottom yet -- I am continuing an effort to slog through this book.
Never in my career have I seen so much self-aggrandising "humility" & mutual back-patting set to type & put between covers. This volume reads like a cross between an Internet-besotted Sears catalogue & the 1999 Enron report to shareholders.
The reason I'm still reading it is not so much that it's using big words or abstruse concepts (it isn't, actually), but that I am forced to keep running to look up yet another freshly dropped name on a search engine. The "high tech" names dropped herein read like a sampling from F***EDCOMPANY.com, which you'd think that one of the other "tech-savvy" reviewers of this book would've noted.
If you aren't a direct victim of the flameout, & you don't really read much on the industry, but you read "E-Volve or Die," then the best advice I can give is to immediately administer a strong purgative -- anything by Christopher Locke ("Gonzo Marketing" is good, though you might need a fast dose of "The Cluetrain Manifesto" to regain perspective, or "The Bombast Transcripts" if you've been deeply affected), & if you're experiencing a toxic degree of optimism, reach immediately for Kaplan's "F'd Companies".
Okay, that said, it's not really a BAD book, though the use of "e-" whenever possible is so cutesy as to make the book worthy of shredding, as you'll probably agree by page 20 or so.
Self-aggrandising? Oh, I almost forgot: this tome has no less than >12
< Forewords. Thankfully, most of these companies are now dead, & the authors have faded back into the marketing woodwork.
This could be a decent 200-page book if the self-serving rah-rah nonsense were excised. Two stars for hope of a brighter (& intelligence-infected) e-future.
Excellent resource to understand comprehensive idea of EC........2002-10-05
This book taught me how my E-commerce comprehension was restricted, and let my eye open to fundamental idea of e-business. Mitchel Levy has global idea of business strategy and management in Internet age, and he was building a key to success in this uncertain period. I could gain very practical metrics to solve my business problems in very simple but well refined words.
Recommended to all people living in e-business age, from beginner to advanced,in any nationality and any generation.

I found Mitchell Levy's book enlightening and thought provoking. The many examples given throughout the book show the author's vast experience and makes you want to understand more. As you read the book questions evolve. The historical scenarios he writes about helps to close the loop...

Book Description
The charismatic hero, to do away with discord and the tribal mentality that hamper the progress of his tiny nation, has to devise ways to persuade his people to stop-- injustices, hatred, greed, disparity between rich and poor, diseases, demographic problems, ecological and environmental degradation, et cetera. Literally, it looks like a mission impossible; however, the hero must reach his goal. He internalizes the good from his mother, and he rejects the bad that is all around him. He epitomizes courage, perseverance, compassion, intelligence, philosophy, bravery, and he values education. He learns never to let his setbacks take a hold on him. He holds no grudges no matter what even if he remembers because negative energies are unproductive. He believes in friendship, but he refuses to be a doormat for anyone. He has anxieties that petrify him up to doubt himself at times, but something always comes up to reassure him. Even though his people are spiteful and wicked, he feels that there is some good in everyone. He intends to succeed in his difficult mission at all cost to unite his people and to make his mother proud. The novel is not in any way an introspection; all the characters are imaginative, and even the lieu of the story's development does not really exist.
Book Description
Authentic recipes from the famous Massachusetts restaurant: popovers, veal and ham loaf, Toll House baked beans, chocolate cake, crumb pudding, much more. Nearly 700 recipes, including famous Toll House cookie recipe, many impossible to find elsewhere.

Toll House Memories.......2006-07-06
Thrilled to see this book in print again. I use a worn paperback edition from the 1950's. I remember dining at the Toll House restaurant with my aunts and uncles and cousins to celebrate my grandmother's birthday, probably in the late 1950s. Along with my grandmother and Julia Child's Mastering the Art of Cooking, Ruth Wakefield's recipes taught me to love to cook. Today we can adapt them for lower fat, etc. as all good cooks do adapt recipes. Whether you make Lobster Toll House, or brown bread or mocha chiffon pie the results taste as good today as they did at the restaurant many years ago. A wonderful gift for any aspiring cook or sentimental New Englanders.
A food history classic........2003-12-07
This is the classic cookbook based on the recipes served at The Toll House restaurant, from the inventor of the chocolate chip cookie. That recipe (for Toll House Chocolate Crunch Cookies) is included here, and has a slightly different technique than that on the back of the Nestle package, which improves the texture of the cookie.
This is a small, all purpose cookbook, of the Joy of Cooking variety. There is an extensive section on kitchen hints and menu planning in the beginning of the book. The recipes cover the full range from appetizers to jams and jellies. These are pretty close to fool-proof, though obviously from a different era.
If you're into food history it is worth picking up a copy. It is a stand alone book, but it is frozen in time as well. Even more fascinating is the full cookbook these recipes are from, which is long out of print. This is a fine substitute, though.
