Humor in the Salt Mines

Asa Rountree's memos helped shape generations of lawyers who had the good fortune to work with him. This book collects those memos, making them available to a wider audience to help spread his wisdom. Included in this book are Asa's memos on: professionalism, client relationships, confidentiality, styles of writing, attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine, settling a case, and many more. At the direction of Helen Hill Rountree, the proceeds of this book will be used to help finance good works of the ABA Section of Litigation, of which Asa was a founding member and chair.
