Beyond the First Whereas: A Lawyer's Odyssey in Verse - Hardcover
by Mark Halliwell Smith (Author)
Beyond the First Whereas is a witty, poignant, and refreshingly original poetic journey through the stages of a lawyer's life, from the first tentative steps toward law school to the triumphs, trials, and quiet revelations of practice.
With humor, insight, and emotional resonance, Mark Halliwell Smith captures the moments that shape a lawyer's path: the pressure of the LSAT, the camaraderie of study groups, the sting of a bad cold call, the rush of closing a deal, and the personal costs that sometimes come with professional success.
Whether you're a seasoned attorney, a law student, or simply someone who loves poetry that plays with form and meaning, this collection invites you to reflect, smile, and see the law as a lawyer sees it, heart and soul (and in iambic tetrameter).
WHEREAS, a lawyer's life unfolds
In cautious steps, with borrowed grace,
From law school dreams the young heart holds
To battles fought with poise and pace.
