A Scathing Indictment Of Law Schools And Large Firms

Douglas Litowitz, an Ohio attorney and author, has chosen a title for his latest work that practically guarantees rousing debate at law firms and campuses everywhere: "The Destruction of Young Lawyers."

At 163 pages, including footnotes and index, the just-published opus is slim. But it cuts into the academic establishment, bar authorities and big-firm law like a shiv.

Wasting no time in knifing straight to his central thesis, Mr. Litowitz declares on page one that young lawyers "shoulder most of the misery within the profession."
