[QUOTE="TC fiend, post: 113539, member: 12349"] Great question! If you really want a breakdown of day-to-day, I don’t think you can get any better than Jake’s book mentioned above. I think it’s important that your daily work will very much depend on the team and department you sit in. The day of a litigation lawyer looks very different from that of a corporate or real estate lawyer. In that regard, I’d really recommend reading books that are more widely related to the markets and the clients you might work with, as you’ll have to have a good understanding of what they do in order to advise them. Some of my favorites include: -Tomorrow’s Lawyers by Richard Susskind -Any of the FT Guides, but particularly the FT Guide to Banking -Any sort of books written about clients you’re interested in (for example, I really like Alibaba - The House that Jack Built by Duncan Clark) -White Shoe by John Oller -The Big Short by Michael Lewis -VC by Tom Nicholas Etc etc… the point is, to get an idea of what a corporate lawyer does your best bet is to understand what your clients do, what they need to do it, and how lawyers fit into the picture. I hope that’s a helpful start :) [/QUOTE]
