Merlin Whiteman, Indiana Univ. Sch. of Law – “Basing this book primarily on interviews and on her own personal experiences, the author looks at why experienced and successful lawyers are dissatisfied with their profession. She describes the economic and social barriers to leaving, and she shows how unhappy attorneys can overcome these obstacles and identify alternate careers or, failing that, better cope within the legal system. Although this is a problem that is grudgingly recognized by the profession, readers may wonder whether the disaffection represents a more widespread phenomenon to which Arron only alludes to early on but never examines fully. Still, this book will comfort attorneys who may believe they are unusual in their unhappiness. However, the real readership should be present or prospective law students who yet have control over their professional destinies.”
