You know that polite question that new acquaintances always ask when they learn that you are in law school: "So, what kind of law are you going to practice?" The question vexes many law students. This book helps the law-student reader think deliberately about your answer to the question. You first need the right mindset. You must then know the structure of law practice. Only then does the book survey practice areas systematically to help you choose which might be better for you. So, relax, and on your next break, read this book, offering 100 answers to the question, together with takeaways, reflection questions, models, exercises, and snapshots. The right practice areas and career are out there for you, once you learn how to answer the question.
