Dr. Banks explains in detail what the process of applying and attending law school is like, as well as what one could reasonably expect in their career as an attorney. This is accomplished in around 100 pages, allowing for the entire book to be completed in a day or two while refraining from being repetitive or dry. All of this is done in an objective manner, which is to say that the author does not set out to persuade or dissuade the reader from choosing to pursue a career in law. Since the work is not setting out to push the audience one way or the other, the author can be trusted to present all relevant research no matter what its conclusions may be. Dr. Banks combines this research with his experiences as a lawyer and a pre-law advisor to offer an insightful view into the legal profession. I chose this book because I was uncertain about whether or not law school was a worthy investment for me. The author provides information about not only the cost of law school, but on expected wages across the legal profession. This data does not answer whether or not someone should or should not work towards their J.D., but instead provides the necessary tools for each individual to make their own decision. For me, that is the true purpose of this book. It allows readers to come to their own decisions about law school, and provides relevant information to support their choice. As someone who was questioning whether law was really for them, I was provided peace of mind by this book. I am more certain than ever before of my path, and I owe a large part of that to Dr. Banks and his work. I truly cannot recommend this book enough. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Useful in its clear-eyed, straightforward look at the profession *by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2018* "The American Legal Profession: The Myths and Realities of Practicing Law" by Christopher P Banks is a clear-eyed and straightforward look at practicing law in the US. It is a lean book under 125 pages and that would include the Index. Topics range from applying to law school all the way to trends in the practice. The chapter on the practice of law was interesting because it covers the known employment of law firms and private practice, but also other employment that utilizes legal expertise. The author keeps the text readable and accessible with useful advice. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A small handbook that ought be read by any student considering law school *by I***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2019* This is basically a guide to starting a legal career. What do you need to major in before law school (hint, political science isn't actually a requirement)? What types of law are there (litigation, contract, mergers and acquisition, patent, etc, etc). How does one get a start in the legal practice and, at a high level, what types of paths does a legal career typically take.Recommended for students considering a career in law. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/66514848-the-american-legal-profession-the-myths-and-realities-of-practicing](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/66514848-the-american-legal-profession-the-myths-and-realities-of-practicing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
