A Baker & Taylor Academic Essentials Title in Leadership 'Many lawyers will become leaders - decision-makers, not just advisors - in legal, social, economic and political institutions and will have to express and implement a substantive vision. Law schools at present do little to train students for this vital role. This book presents important perspectives on why that must change.' Ben W. Heineman, Jr., former GE general counsel, senior fellow at Harvard's schools of law and government [co-teacher of Lawyer as Leader: The Challenges of the General Counsel] 'This long overdue book not only answers the question of why leadership education for lawyers is essential, it also offers a clearly articulated explanation of how leadership must be integrated into law school curriculum and what should be offered and why. It is a must read for every dean, professor, practitioner and student of the law.' Cynthia Cherrey, Princeton University, USA
