The Path of a Litigator What the Samurai Code Can Teach a Litigation Lawyer

What could a medieval samurai and a modern litigator possibly have in common? The answer is this: a similar approach to the world around them and the people in it, to the cause they serve, and most importantly - a careful, even scrutinizing, attitude toward themselves and their conscience.

The author of this book, a partner at a law firm and a practicing attorney, expresses an original perspective on the tenets of the legal profession - from the standpoint of the Bushido code, inviting readers to evaluate the principles that dispute resolution specialists can and should follow in their work. He reminds professionals in this field of the main human virtues that will help them nobly navigate the predetermined Path.

The book is addressed to lawyers, managers, and staff of law firms, as well as anyone interested in questions of law, history, and the culture of Japan.
