Legal Interviewing And Counseling In A Nutshell, Thomas Shaffer, James Elkins

Thomas L. Shaffer

However, many lawyers are sensitive, people-oriented professionals who relate to their clients as persons and not as problems. The authors argue that counseling is the heart and soul of lawyering, and that it is an integral part of the legal education.
