The Lawyer's Guide to Firm Mismanagement

The expert on law firm mismanagement in America returns with a fresh collection of humorous committee meetings, memos, speeches, and consultants’ reports. These materials showcase lawyers who are not predatory like sharks, but instead find themselves struggling in a sea of dilemmas. The attorneys at the fictional firm Fairweather, Winters & Sommers explore the potential benefits of merging and transitioning to a virtual platform. They also engage in heated debates regarding the creation of a firm website. In a comical turn of events, they attempt to grasp economic concepts in front of a morning talk show audience and frantically seek solutions when a major corporate client is embroiled in a highly unethical scandal.

A sports mogul client advocates for recruiting law school graduates as if they were professional athletes, and a glimpse into the future reveals lawyers seeking out new business opportunities in outer space. Throughout the chaos, the firm’s founder, Stanley Fairweather, dispenses his trademark wisdom. The use of imagination and humor drives this parody of the legal profession, transforming a mundane topic into a sidesplitting farce that simultaneously amuses lawyers and highlights their professional missteps.
