For any readers out there who have been wanting to quit their job for ages but have been too afraid of the senior partner to hand over the resignation letter, help is finally at hand. According to the title of Alex Steuart Williams’ new book, there are 101 Ways to Leave the Law (one of which appears on the right). Williams, the man behind the ‘Queen’s Counsel’ legal cartoon in the Times, has drawn a series of amusing scenarios guaranteed to get the P45 delivered straight to your desk. One of Obiter’s personal favourites is to ‘explain at your interview at a huge commercial litigation firm that you want to be a lawyer so you can help people’. As Homer Simpson said, it’s funny because it’s true. Find 101 Ways on Amazon for £6.99 (list price is £9.99). ISBN-10: 1906779600; ISBN-13: 978-1906779603.
