4.9/5 (20196 ratings)

Description:Tournament of Lawyers traces in detail the rise of one hundred of the nation's top firms in order to diagnose the health of the business of American law. Galanter and Palay demonstrate that much of the large firm's organizational success stems from its ability to blend the talents of experienced partners with those of energetic junior lawyers driven by a powerful incentive—the race to win "the promotion-to-partner tournament." This calmly reasoned study reveals, however, that the very causes of the spiraling growth of the large law firm may lead to its undoing. Further, Galanter and Palay warn that a firm's decision to restructure - whether aiming to speed growth or rein it in - fundamentally alters the character of the firm and quality of legal services it can provide. Traditions like collegiality and informality suffer, and public service and independence recede before the pressure for billable hours."Galanter and Palay pose questions and offer some answers which are certain to change the way big firm practice is regarded. To describe their work as challenging is something of an understatement: they at times delight, stimulate, frustrate and even depress the reader, but they never disappoint. Tournament of Lawyers is essential to the understanding of the business of the big law firms."—Jean and Colin Fergus, New York Law JournalWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
