Reviews

"Supervisory and Leadership Skills in the Modern Law Practice presents a model for providing feedback and mentoring in the day-to-day workplace that should be useful for law firm partners and senior lawyers in any legal organization who work with junior lawyers.  Zwier recognizes that lawyers are busy people; his model for feedback acknowledges the difficulties of finding time for training in the "game" setting and suggests timely and time-effecient ways of providing guidance.  Most importantly, perhaps, Zwier demonstrates the intrinsic value to the law-practice group of taking the time to train junior lawyers, from a societal viewpoint, but also with a view toward profitability.  Don't just read this book--do the things Zwier suggests and you will reap the rewards."

—Michael H. Ginsberg, Esq., Jones Day

"Paul Zwier’s book is essential reading material for law firm leaders who seek to develop young lawyers into mature professionals.  He helps us rediscover the lost art of mentoring.”

—John G. Douglass, Professor of Law at the University of Richmond School of Law
