Biography
Ray Steinwall is an Attorney of the High Court of Australia; a Member of the Australian Competition Tribunal and Adjunct Professor, UNSW Law, Australia.
The best thing about this short book is that it captures so many essential skills and qualities not taught in law school but rather gleaned over a lifetime in the law.
Moya O'Brien, Victorian Bar News
In Life Lessons for Lawyers, Ray Steinwall delivers something strikingly rare in legal literature: a deeply personal, emotionally intelligent, and thoroughly human reflection on what it means to live a life in law. This is not a book about case law, courtroom strategy, or legal drafting. It is about how to be a lawyer without losing yourself in the process.
Mori Ong, Singapore Law Gazette
A revolutionary and practical way of thinking to pave the way to both professional and personal fulfilment. Highly-recommended as a persuasive and essential read for lawyers at all stages of career and life.
