The book benchmarks an ideal lawyer and the standards that every lawyer must strive to achieve. It covers in great detail the practical aspects of legal practice, which are not taught at the Law School, yet play a critical role in moulding one into a competent lawyer. It formulates the pillars upon which effective legal practice is founded. It gives the categories into which law is divided, the history of the legal profession, factors to consider when choosing a place to undergo pupilage training or mentorship, and offers useful suggestions on how to set up a successful legal career.
