"In my practice, I need a comprehensive deskbook on the law relating to lawyers. Barristers&; Solicitors in Practice was, and Canadian Legal Practice is and will be, that resource. It is certainly not a store of knowledge you can afford not to have at hand, especially if you only shop infrequently."
