Fresh out of Columbia Law School, Sheila lands a prestigious federal clerkship for a Philadelphia judge. Part of the "Devil Wears Prada" unreasonable boss genre (oh no, she did WHAT?), it kept me turning the pages.

I now understand why people dislike American lawyers so much - they are petty, arrogant, self-aggrandizing and neurotic. A tissue-thin fictional account of one lawyer's time clerking for a federal court judge, this book is written by a woman who clerked for a federal court judge. This book reminded me strongly of The Devil Wears Prada, mostly because it was similarly barely fiction, and the central characters were unlikeable. Passably interesting, this is not recommended.

Very elementary writing; seems like a book written by someone with a grudge.
