Review: "Lawyering Skills and the Legal Process bridges the gap between academic and practical law for students undertaking skill-based and clinical legal education courses at university. It emphasises the extent to which lawyering is a dynamic process, shaped by a range of legal, business and ethical considerations, and encourages students to develop a critical and reflective approach to their own learning which is designed to help them to manage this dynamic environment." "The student's oral and written communication, group working, problem solving and conflict resolution skills are developed in a range of legal contexts: client interviewing, drafting, managing cases, legal negotiation and advocacy. The book is designed specifically to help students." "This book provides a stimulating, accessible and challenging approach to understanding the problems and uncertainties of practising law that goes beyond the standard approaches to lawyers' skills."--BOOK JACKET.
