Every lawyer wants to be a good lawyer. They want to do right by their clients, contribute to the professional community, become good colleagues, interact effectively with people of all persuasions, and choose the right cases. All of these skills and behaviors are important, but they spring from hard-to-identify foundational qualities necessary for good lawyering. After focusing for three years on getting high grades and sharpening analytical skills, far too many lawyers leave law school without a real sense of what it takes to be a good lawyer.

In The Good Lawyer, Douglas O. Linder and Nancy Levit combine evidence from the latest social science research with numerous engaging accounts of top-notch attorneys at work to explain just what makes a good lawyer. They outline and analyze several crucial qualities: courage, empathy, integrity, diligence, realism, a strong sense of justice, clarity of purpose, and an ability to transcend emotionalism. Many qualities require apportionment in the right measure, and achieving the right balance is difficult. Lawyers need to know when to empathize and also when to detach; courage without an appreciation of consequences becomes recklessness; working too hard leads to exhaustion and mistakes. And what do you do in tricky situations, where the urge to deceive is high? How can you maintain focus through a mind-taxing (or mind-numbing) project? Every lawyer faces these problems at some point, but if properly recognized and approached, they can be overcome.

It's not easy being good, but this engaging guide will serve as a handbook for any lawyer trying not only to figure out how to become a better--and, almost always, more fulfilled--lawyer.

Excellent heavy duty squeaker toy
Color: Green, Size: Large(50-90 lbs)
My German Shepherd LOVES this noisy toy. It is extremely well made, durable, LOUD, and heavy. I'm hoping this toy lasts much longer than the grunting pig that he absolutely loves, but tend to stop squeaking within a day or so. Definitely worth the money!

Terrifying jaw strength..
Color: Green, Size: Medium(30-55 lbs)
Have 2 Corgi and it scares me that they make this thing squeak. The bite pressure they have now from working out jaw to squeak this like it's nothing. Didn't expect our smaller corgi to be able to squeak this couldn't at first now she just goes ham on it like it's no big deal.

Very sturdy for an aggressive chewer
Color: Green, Size: Large(50-90 lbs)
I was so surprised that this has lasted so long for my Black lab, who is an aggressive chewer. It is his all-time favorite toy. He chews it many times every day and the squeaker still works!

I FINALLY GOT AN INDESTRUCTIBLE TOY!!! Yes!
Color: Green, Size: Large(50-90 lbs), Color: Green, Size: Large(50-90 lbs)
This one is TRULY indestructible! I’ve been purchasing one after another trying to find something that she cannot break in 5 mins. Everything I’ve ordered (until this one) has been SHREDDED in 3-10 minutes! It’s TRUE RUBBER! I’m so happy with my purchase! See the picture below- we’ve had it for a couple months now and she has barely chewed off just a few small nubs! Which she’s proud of 😆 If you truly want a challenge for your CRAZY DOG- you will love this squeaker!

Rough and tough chew toy
Color: Azure, Size: Large(50-90 lbs)
This is a thick and heavy duty toy to stand up to medium to large dogs who are heavy chewers. And the rough textures really encourages my dog and it is the perfect size to throw and play fetch. Very sturdy…I bought around Christmas and it’s almost may and she hasn’t destroyed it yet!!!
