Law school was never Anna Dorn's dream. It was a profession pushed on her by her parents, teachers, society... whatever. It's not the worst thing that can happen to a person; as Dorn says, law school was pretty "cushy" and mostly entailed wearing leggings every day to her classes at Berkeley and playing beer pong with her friends at night. The hardest part was imagining what it would be like to actually be a lawyer one day. But then she'd think of Glenn Close on Damages and Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde, and hoped for the best.After graduation, however, Dorn realized that there was nothing sexy about being a lawyer. Between the unflattering suits, sucking up to old men, and spending her days sequestered in a soul-sucking cubicle, Dorn quickly learned that being a lawyer wasn't everything Hollywood made it out to be. Oh, and she sucked at it. Not because she wasn't smart enough, but because she couldn't get herself to care enough to play by the rules.Bad Lawyer is more than just a memoir of Dorn's experiences as a less-than-stellar lawyer; it's about the less-than-stellar legal reality that exists for all of us in this country, hidden just out of sight. It's about prosecutors lying and filing inane briefs that lack any semblance of logic or reason; it's about defense attorneys sworn to secrecy-until the drinks come out and the stories start flying; and it's about judges who drink in their chambers, sexually harass the younger clerks, and shop on eBay instead of listening to homicide testimony. More than anything, this book aims to counteract the fetishization of the law as a universe based entirely on logic and reason. Exposing everything from law school to law in the media, and drawing on Dorn's personal experiences as well as her journalistic research, Bad Lawyer ultimately provides us with a fresh perspective on our justice system and the people in it, and gives young lawyers advice going forward into the 21st century.

I was looking forward to this book when I first read about it. It did not disappoint. To begin with, Anna Dorn is an excellent, engaging, unpretentious writer. And, as a self-confessed introvert, her self-analysis spills onto the page in an very absorbing way. Finally, she has a sharp sense of humor. I finished the book in a day.She very effectively skewers the legal system (where I have toiled for the past 36 years), and the boringness of Old White Guys (Hey! I AM one!). She is so right about so many things. I work on the civil side (I mostly sue insurance companies on denied claims for coverage), but the fact that the system only really works for the monied class is equally obvious and shameful. If you don’t have money, or access to it, going to court can be a disaster. She fought with Government on behalf of indigent clients. I fight with insurance companies for clients whose houses have burned down (for example). It’s highly frustrating.She also caused me to re-live my unhappy law school days. I made some good friends there, but law school is basically ridiculous. They should call it law professor school. It’s crushingly expensive and teaches very few real-world skills.The only thing that saved me from continued professional unhappiness was starting my own firm in 1995 so I could do things my way and get away from the stifling atmosphere of Big Law. At one point in the book, the flirts with that idea. But I’m glad she didn’t do it, because her calling is as a writer, and I look forward to reading more from her in the future.I felt badly for her through a lot of the book. She seemed miserable (as many lawyers are). But now that she’s doing what she likes (writing for a living), the book ended on an upbeat note.I highly recommend this book.
