Summary: Ignore the bad reviews
Comment: Some of the people who have given this book negative reviews are obviously not the target audience for the book. This is NOT for law students looking for a job or for certain types of lawyers. This is for lawyers who are dissatisfied in their careers and are looking at career transition.
For the target audience, this book in invaluable. Deborah Arron really understands the issues involved and helps navigate the reader through the problems with letting go of a bad situation, finding ideas for next steps and getting to a solution. There is no other book on the market that addresses these issues in the way this one does.
I can't understand why people who aren't the target audience feel the need to trash the book publicly.

Summary: Something for everyone
Comment: I truly wish this book had been available when I went through my own transition. I picked up a number of sources but my personal parachute just never opened - I skipped around or read a couple of chapters but that's all. Now, as a lawyer who provides guidance to other lawyers who want to make a difference in their careers, I have a textbook. When I assign "What Can You Do With a Law Degree" to my clients who think they no longer want to practice law, they may not read it cover to cover, but they find a tremendous amount of thought provoking and useful information. This book is a comprehensive resource for those who devour every word and follow its steps. There is nothing better. It's a touchstone for people who are combining approaches such as written resources and individual guidance. It provides an album of ideas for those who just want to look at a snapshot of what else is out there. It doesn't lay out every answer and tell you what to do, rather it sets the stage for you to do your own thinking and apply its ideas to your situation. It is not a book for the passive; it teaches the steps (sometimes simple yet critical) that must precede meaningful change. And sometimes it even helps a client to realize that they really do want to practice law - it's something else that has to change.
Rating: 2
Summary: This book was overly simplistic and had little good advice.
Comment: I could sum this book up in eight words:
So you didn't like law school? Try teaching.
There I just saved you the time of ordering and reading it. This book was a typical one of those books you see in a public library with really basic common sense ideas and little insight.
