Review Quotes: "This is a wise, elegant, and quite wonderful book...'Bartleby the Serivener' is still read in law schools all over the country. "Double Billing should be too."--John Jay Osborn, "San Francisco Chronicle; author of "The Paper Chase"Stracher is a wonderful writer with a terrific eye and a voice of absolute grace. I can't remember when I enjoyed a book as much as this one."--Lisa Scottoline, author of "Mistaken Identity""Double Billingmay do for associates what Scott Turow's "One L did for elite law schools. Surely it will become necessary reading of the law students and young lawyers entering that world...The book is something else, too. It's a good read."--"The American Lawyer"Stracher's characterizations are vivid and humane, his criticisms are convincing and his observations of workaday lawyering are as sharp as the corners of a legal brief."--"Publishers Weekly"If you prefer your lawyering without criminally short skirts and workdays that culminate in impromptu bathroom-stall dance numbers, try this scathingly funny and grim portrait of the legal profession..."Double Billing should be required reading for the aspiring rich and shameless."--"Entertainment Weekly
