Mike Papantonio Books Overview
In Search of Atticus Finch
This novel explores how lawyering sometimes takes a heavy toll on our overall quality of life. Being a slave to our law practice becomes easier than fostering relationships, challenging our creativity, or allowing ourselves to widen our horizons and grow intellectually. This book is about living and lawyering.
Clarence Darrow, the Journeyman
The author explains the values that Darrow meshed with his role as a lawyer came from many sources. Papantonio explains that Darrow, along with being a lwayer, was also a philosopher, scientist, sociologist, historian, and theologian. This book explains how Darrow lawyered with an enlightened wisdom. Darrow’s effort contributed to his arriving at a right livlihood.
Resurrecting Aesop
Aesop’s fables clearly were not written to entertain children. His stories about the adventures and misadventures of lions, birds, donkeys, and wolves ask us to make important choices between such things as greed and giving, arrogance and humility, selfish indifference and compassion. Lawyers are the types of leaders that can benefit from Aesop’s fable wisdom. We can take that wisdom and help lead our clients, our community…
maybe even an entire democracy to the high ground that Aesop believed was so difficult to claim.
