Analytical Methods for Lawyers

Many hapless humanities and political science majors drift into law school in search of marketable skills. There they are bewildered by lecture material drawn from "practical" disciplines like finance or accounting that they shunned as undergraduates. These lost souls should read "Analytical Methods for Lawyers" immediately. It's a great introduction to the jargon and basic concepts of finance, microeconomics, accounting, statistics, and related fields, at least as they relate to legal practice. The writing is clear, the examples are apt, and difficult concepts are introduced slowly. The book won't turn lawyers into accountants or economists, but it'll help them talk to them! It's great.
