Beskrivelse
Bruce R. Hopkins was a successful nonprofit lawyer, author of several books, a law professor, and a popular speaker. So what could possibly make him want to complete a doctorate of juridical science? Simple - it was his dream. In 2012 he took his first class for his new degree. He was 72.
Fulfilling a Dream: The Ultimate Law Degree is the record of Hopkins' new adventures in law school and completing his dissertation. Sprinting through legal history, Hopkins shares his expertise in tax law, tax procedure, banking and constitutional law, and more, and his reassurances that even seasoned lawyers can find legal writing obtuse, mind-boggling, and downright weird.
Part memoir, part legal study guide, part playful instructions on what to do - and not do - while pursuing a third law degree, Fulfilling a Dream is a smart and hilarious take on pursuing your dreams, no matter the fear.
