International Business Law Book

International Business Law Book

A lawyer helps people as well as businesses solve legal problems, understand rules and regulations, and ensure that the lives people lead are within the confines of law. Lawyers play many roles from arguing cases in court, to defending a person's or nation's right to freedom, and working with business houses handling their legal matters. This would mean knowing the laws of the land, being able to draft documents that will be upheld in any court, and advice people on their individual needs.

To be qualified in the field of law, a future lawyer needs to complete four years of undergraduate school followed by three years in a law school. Then a law graduate must complete the bar examination which tests the comprehensive knowledge of law. After this, the person is given a valid license to practice law. Tests are not just book knowledge; the person is screened for character as well as moral standards.

Law has many fields and it is important for you to understand the different options clearly. Once the examinations are cleared you can:

• Take up private practice which means practicing law on your own or being a part of a larger firm that has hundreds of attorneys. In private practice one can be a trail lawyer or a corporate attorney who handles contracts, wills, legal documents, memorandums, and other aspects of business and everyday life. Clients will seek advice on matters of divorce, marriage agreements, adoption, mergers, acquisitions, setting up of trusts, charity organizations, and more. A private practice lawyer can either be an expert in one field or be a "jack of several aspects of law." Private practice can include aspects of income tax law, patent and trade mark law, oil and gas law, as well as labor law.

• Be a corporate lawyer and work in the legal department of a large business house. This would involve all legal aspects of running a business from mergers and acquisitions to employee rights, tax, balance sheets, financial aspects, and more.

• Be a lawyer in the government and work for federal agencies at the national or state level. This would of course involve things like public litigations, hearings of regulatory agencies, ordinances, policy making, and more. Many lawyers hold important offices in the government.

• Be a lawyer who defends public interests and consumer rights.

• Work in the judiciary and serve as a municipal, state or federal DA or judge. This would involve presiding over and arguing for criminal and civil court proceedings.

• Teach law to students. This would include law enforcement, business law, real estate law, and cyber law. One could also work as a law librarian, editor, and administrator.

• Be a lawyer in the military service. This would mean specializing in international laws and all aspects of security as well as human rights.

The options are numerous and once you are qualified you could choose a field that excites you and fulfills your ambitions.

So you want to be an author?  Many people enjoy writing but few ever seem to become authors – and especially authors whose books sell.  The key to professional authoring is marketing those words you so carefully arrange on otherwise meaningless sheets of paper.  If you want to write successfully – be it a novel or a non-fiction book – then you need My Goodness!  I Couldn't Even Type!

Good Gosh!  I Couldn't Even Type! is geared to new authors who would like to see their book in print.  It's also directed at more experienced authors who haven't yet tasted the unmatchable sweetness of this creative line of endeavor -- seeing their masterpiece on the shelf of a book store.

"You are what you write" is often the motto of the uninitiated. Perhaps so, if only at the moment you are writing your book.  But always remember that the western adventure author such as Zane Gray is seldom if ever a retired cowhand.  Some have never been out west!

Mystery and suspense writers aren't all frustrated private detectives or attorneys with criminal law experience although this was the case with the author of Helter Skelter, Vincent Bugliosi.  He gained worldwide fame as the brilliant attorney who successfully prosecuted Charles Manson and his followers for the heinous murder of actress Sharon Tate and others.

War stories are more often than not written by men or women who haven't even been in the military!  Stephen Crane won international acclaim for his 1895 Civil War novel The Red Badge of Courage.  He wrote this book without any battlefield experience.

Those who write about organized crime aren't members of the Mafia.  An example of this is Mario Puzo who wrote The Godfather.

And Truman Capote who wrote In Cold Blood certainly wasn't a detective or a cop.

Nor was Frederick Forsythe a member of the French secret service, yet he wrote the acclaimed Day of the Jackal!  

Within the realm of being an author lies one of life's most important lessons to be learned.  Adaptability!  An author must be able to adapt to new ideas, to people, to people's ideas.

A sense of purpose must be carefully balanced with open-mindedness.

The acceptance of outside influences tends to solidify our own convictions and define our standards.

Association does not imply compromise.

Persuasion needs not lead to capitulation.

Knowledge isn't necessarily the harbinger of change.

Authoring a book isn't a mysterious, romance-cloaked pursuit, except by those who tell everyone they would like to write a book but never do.  It's a business, pure and simple!

Ernest Hemingway once stated: "I write books for money"    And so should all other budding as well as published authors.  Yet writing is extremely personal,  intense, emotional and demanding.  But to utilize it to the fullest, writing must develop into and remain a business.

"The writer who is a real writer," said William Saroyan, "is a rebel who never stops."

Good Gosh!  I  Couldn't Even Type! is carefully designed for all aspiring authors who simply won't be satisfied until they're finally published.  And its also geared to the needs of already published authors.  

Good Gosh!  I  Couldn't Even Type! contains innumerable successful methods, suggestions and concrete examples based on more than 40 years experience and overwhelming success in the field of freelance writing and authoring books.  It isn't composed merely of untested theories.

Topics include tips on how to construct a novel or nonfiction book; finding the right publisher for your work; successfully querying to catch an editors interest; obtaining an agent; avoiding those rackets aimed at would-be authors who are in the process of developing their dream book as well as those fortunate enough to have already had their book or books published and much, much more.. 

Good Gosh!  I  Couldn't Even Type! is a most exciting book.  It's slanted toward unheralded writers who would like to get paid for their work and see their name on the jacket of a book or accompanying a magazine article or short story. 

And it's also directed at the more experienced writer who has already had the unmatchable thrill of being published and seeing their name in print.!   

Here's an outline of what is included in the book:
