If you read [b:One L: The Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School|4685|One L The Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School|Scott Turow|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1386925508s/4685.jpg|8282] or [b:The Paper Chase|18927379|The Paper Chase|John Osborn|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388427392s/18927379.jpg|26934191], you might well wonder what happens when a law student graduates, passes the bar, and takes a job? Stracher's book is one answer to that question.
After graduating Harvard Law, Stracher signs on with a Wall Street firm. Like most young associates, he spends a lot of time on grunt work, putting together paperwork and finding case law for attorneys who seem to be more adept at billing hours than solving problems. The major conflicts are not in a courtroom (he never sees one), but inter- and intra- personal.
Stracher has a comfortable voice and I enjoyed a peek inside a Wall Street firm.
