The project was clearly directed toward prescribing steps to correct the gaping discrepancy between female representation in law schools (50%) and that the number of female partners in large law firms (13% in 1995, rising to 17% as of 2005, according to a much-discussed New York Times article) rather than toward examining why that discrepancy exists. Lean, terse, and directive, the project hits its mark.

It convincingly makes the case that leadership (and therefore leadership development training and coaching) offers solutions to many of the problems and challenges facing the profession, including high levels of attorney and client dissatisfaction, growing economic pressures on law firms, increasing lack of civility, and outdated law firm governance practices.

I much prefer books that state the premise and then use examples to illustrate. Because I so dislike the parable approach, I wouldn't have finished Leadership and Self-Deception had I not already heard so many rave reviews.

Almost any lawyer who reads this chapter will recognize that Maister is indeed speaking to us. He highlights four problems that prevent "lawyers from effectively functioning in groups."

Both the parties have to agree that a third party arbitrator will act as both judge and jury. Arbitration can be binding or non-binding but quite often it ends in a settlement. In a non binding arbitration no arbitration award what so ever is issued. The parties may even agree to follow the rules put down by the AAA (American Arbitration Association).

Thus, every city must understand that the water and air pollution they create, they are legally responsible for. It's time for cities to clean up their act.
