Law is where the concern to publice ,service and maintaining the dignity of the nation lies !!! , This book brings out that very well !!!Law students mostly shine with brilliance both with their tongues and their pen , but what about the less gifted ones aspiring to see the courtrooms??, yeah this book is just built in for them . Being more optimistic in life for experince and strategies is the core arena of this book . moreover emphasing on large law firms is a good one too because it ensures that students dont get up in unwanted mediocre mesh up lines , thus setting up their goals upright !!!An commendable read for young Law aspirants on the whole !!

Guerrilla Tactics condenses all the job seeking and interview advice that’s commonly given into one book, and applies that advice specifically to the legal field. Although some of the items in the book are self-explanatory and astoundingly simple minded (“Don’t send out a writing sample that has typos.”). the book has many other pieces of advice that are handy. I especially enjoyed the portion on networking for shy people. If you’re an introvert, networking is generally a hated task, and always will be, but this book shows you how to get through it to land the job. A large portion of the book covers what to do in the event that your law school grades weren’t great, and how to play down the mediocre grades while playing up other skills and talents. Coverage of this topic is detailed and much needed, as most law students didn’t get the top grades and honors in law school. I did find the advice about how to work with a large law firm a little misleading. Those techniques did not seem to work, especially right out of law school. Most top notch firms are looking for fresh graduates from top tier schools.. The better advice on a large law firm is if you didn’t go to a top law school, work somewhere else, gain some experience, and try again in a few years. Overall, this was a good book with a lot of helpful information for law students who want to pursue both traditional and non-traditional legal careers.
