LALS #008 - Library Segment

The Life After Law School Podcast

This episode will be a Library Segment.  The concept was stolen from the "B" Show found at Dragon Page: Cover to Cover and was originally going to be a minor segment in each episode here.  It turned out that doing a review for each podcast was going to be a bit complicated, so I going to bring it in as a recurring segment on the show.

The books I talk about in this show are:
